The Campaign For Columbia SIPA
What Can Be is SIPA’s $150-million campaign that will fund areas essential to our future. It will increase financial aid for our students, support the high-impact research of our academic community, ensure new hiring in critical fields, and create new programs. Our success will also support key University priorities in climate response, data and society, global solutions, and just societies.
