The Ambassadors Program
The Ambassadors Program is a joint effort between SIPASA, the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid, and the Office of Students Affairs. The Ambassadors Program connects current students with prospective and newly admitted students to help them to explore if SIPA is the right place for them and assist them with their transition to graduate school. Our students are vital links for future and incoming students to learn about the SIPA experience at a personal level and to help them make informed decisions about pursuing their graduate education at SIPA.
Open House
SIPA Open House is an event conducted with the Office of Career Services (OCS) and SIPASA. The purpose of this event is to introduce new students to SIPA and its program. With faculty panels, information sessions this event is the first introduction to most incoming students.
Town Hall/Student Survey
Once a year, SIPASA members conduct a student survey to assess the likes, dislikes and concerns of its students. Once this survey is assessed and quantified, a Town Hall meeting is set up. This meeting is open to all SIPA students and provides students an opportunity to voice their concerns, ask the administration questions etc.
