On the one hand, […]
SIPA students, faculty, and staff are receiving sad news tonight: Mustafa Bicer, who just finished his first year at SIPA, has passed away. An impressive MIA student full of promise, he came from SIPA after working in the Directorate General of Exports in the Ministry of Economy of Turkey, his home country. We extend our […]

South Central Los […]
Ladies and gentlemen, your CCSC President. Name, Hometown, School: Karishma Habbu, Atlanta, GA, Columbia College Claim to fame?
