SIPA Stories with Katie Jacobs Stanton and Mayor Eric Garcetti COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY - SIPA Admissions Blog

SIPA Stories with Katie Jacobs Stanton and Mayor Eric Garcetti COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY - SIPA Admissions Blog We hosted an energetic and busy Summerfest NYC yesterday and met so many fantastic people. Thank you to all who came to network with us and the other top policy schools. If you’re in the D.C. area and are interested in graduate programs in international affairs, stop by Summerfest D.C. tonight. A common question from prospective students last night was about how the MIA, MPA, or MPA-DP program would help them in their future careers. Who better to answer this question than two former students / current alumni? Katie Jacobs Stanton (MIA ’95) shares how her SIPA education was applicable across her career in government and technology. She is the chief marketing officer of Color and former VP of global media for Twitter. For a different perspective, Eric Garcetti (MIA ’93) was elected Mayor of Los Angeles in 2013 and speaks to how he wants Los Angeles to “become an example of how we bring folks across cultures together to build a new city.” You can meet more of the people devoted to addressing public policy challenges at SIPA Stories.
