Alumni Notes #1 February 2011 COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY - SIPA Admissions Blog Every so often I work with our Director of Alumni Affairs and I get highlights on what some of our alumni are doing.   I received a report from her earlier this week and started to digest it.   I decided to divide the information into two posts.   This first post covers three general sectors and the next post will cover NGOs, the United Nations, business, academia and think tanks. Below are sector titles, names, program, graduation year, organizations, and titles.   Feel free to follow the links for related pages on those referenced.
