New SIPA Student Photo Series #2 COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY - SIPA Admissions Blog

New SIPA Student Photo Series #2 COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY - SIPA Admissions Blog Todays submission comes from Karen Mustiga, MPA 2016. Karen was born in Lima, Peru and immigrated to the U.S. in the 1990s.   Her disposition for public service and helping out the less fortunate comes from her roots and keen awareness to third-world poverty, political turmoil, and immigrant experience.   She plans to concentrate her studies in Urban and Social Policy.   We look forward to welcoming Karen to SIPA this fall. Photo taken in Mallorca:   A photo of my friend Tom and I in Mallorca this past May. Ive had the pleasure of visiting most of Spain while teaching English in Madrid and Mallorca was definitely a trip worth taking. As a Florida native, I was impressed by the breathtakingly beautiful beaches and stunning cliffs.
