LETTER FROM THE DEAN Letter from the Dean n this issue of SIPA News, we celebrate SIPA’s seven decades as a premier hub of global public policy research, training, and engagement, Iand we recognize some of the remarkable members of our community who contribute to the School’s vibrancy and vitality. SIPA is known among great policy schools for its deep scholarship, applied learning, practical problem-solving, and global orientation. In the following pages, you will find myriad examples of our diverse community engaging fundamental policy questions and applying our tremendous skills and talents to advance the global public interest. Programmatic Initiatives: Over the past year, we launched a new research center devoted to the study of the Indian economy, established a new degree track on central banking and financial markets as part of a broader initiative in this area, and advanced our work on digital technology and its complex nexus to public policy. Student Activities: As you will see, SIPA students pursued hands-on projects and internships in diverse fields such as energy, transportation, conflict resolution, economic development, and environmental science and policy. In this issue, the winners of this year’s Raphael Smith Memorial Prize also recount their experiences abroad in two compelling personal essays. Faculty Updates: SIPA made several exciting additions to our faculty, including the appointment of the Honorable Michael Nutter, former two-term mayor of Philadelphia, as the inaugural David N. Dinkins Professor of Professional Practice in Urban and Public Affairs. This summer, noted Brazilian economist Rodrigo Soares will become the first Lemann Professor of Brazilian Public Policy and International and Public Affairs. Described herein are also stories of amazing work by longtime faculty in areas such as food security, terrorism, climate change, disaster management, and urban policy. Visitors and Events: As always, senior leaders from government, the private sector, and international organiza- tions visited our campus to share their perspectives and interact with our faculty and students. By way of a few examples, we welcomed former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Stephen Breyer, renowned journalist Martin Wolf, and many others. For their inspiring examples of leadership, we also had the privilege at this year’s gala of honoring current UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde, Former Secretary of State and Treasury James Baker, and SIPA alumnus Wang Boming. As our community reflects on SIPA’s past and contemplates our bright future, we thank our many friends, colleagues, and partners who have supported our work—this year and in years past. We hope that this issue of SIPA News provides a meaningful, glimpse of the outstanding work of our students, faculty, and alumni, their ongoing impact, and their steadfast commitment to making a difference in the world.

We have built this solid reputation by providing cutting-edge programs and forums in which leaders collaborate to develop solutions to the problems facing their organizations, communities, and countries. Meridian knows that all diplomats, government officials, CEOs, entrepreneurs, service leaders, academics, and other constituents face one common challenge: how to succeed on the international stage. As a center for global leadership, Meridian pursues a strategic response to this challenge by bringing the world together. We understand that our biggest problems cannot be solved without global leadership, exchange, and collaboration. This is why we convene and create partnerships that develop emerging global leaders who navigate diverse socio-economic challenges around the world, increase opportunities for business in overseas markets, and create exchanges that deepen understanding between cultures, communities, and countries. A few notable highlights of our work in 2012 include: • The inaugural Meridian Global Leadership Summit was attended by 250 corporate and government stakeholders, and featured dynamic discussions with industry and diplomatic leaders on the future of global leadership; • A Service Innovation Summit in Madrid, Spain at which 200 service leaders from the U.S., Spain, and several countries discussed volunteerism as a solution for addressing pressing socio-economic challenges faced by communities worldwide; • The Young African Leaders Innovation Summit, where 62 young social and business entrepreneurs, from 42 African countries collaborated on innovative solutions for creating economic opportunity.
