Dear Second-year EPD students,
We hope you are having a relaxing and productive summer and have been staying well. We look forward to hearing about your summer experiences and seeing you on campus this fall. We would like to share with you important information about the Methods course, a required fall course for all second-year EPD students.
We also include updates on our EPD core courses and highlight new electives added to our professional focus areas. You can review a comprehensive list of all fall 2023 courses in our professional focus areas here. Note that registration for continuing SIPA students opens on Friday, August 11th. You can read more about registration here.
We are also delighted to confirm that Prof. Ocampo – Co-Director of EPD along with Prof. McGill – is returning from his public service leave in his home country, Colombia, where he served as Minister of Finance. Prof. Ocampo will teach both in fall and spring and his courses are included below.
Please review the following information carefully and if you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out.
Best wishes,
The EPD Team
U6827 METHODS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PRACTICE
The Methods for Sustainable Development Practice course is a required fall course for second-year EPD students, and a prerequisite for participating in the Capstone Workshop in Sustainable Development Practice (the EPD Workshop). This fall, there will be three sections of the Methods course, two on Wednesday - at 11:00 am and 4:10 pm - and one on Thursday at 2:10 pm. There will also be three lab sections on Friday - at 9:30 am, and 11:00 am. Each class section will be linked to one lab section. A few optional speakers and skill building sessions may also be scheduled at lunchtime.
Application & deadline
The Methods course is set up as an application course so that we can gather information on your background and interests. The application will open on Monday, August 14th at 9:00 am and will be due by Wednesday, August 30th at noon. To access and complete your application, follow this link https://fs23.formsite.com/SIPA/MethodsDevPractice_App/index.html. At the end of the application, you will be asked to upload a one-page resume.
Registration
Registration for the Methods course is currently closed, and there is no need to add yourself to the waitlist for one of the Methods sections. All second-year EPD concentrators can assume they will be accepted in the Methods course. Students should attend any section of the first class on Wednesday, September 6 or Thursday, September 7. During the first class, we will collect information about your preferred class and lab sections. We will assign and confirm sections after the first class, and THEN you can register for the course through Vergil.
If you have four or more years of development management experience, and would like to take a more specialized course in place of Methods, please email your resume to Prof. Jenny McGill (em419) before August 30th.
Finally, if you have a potential client or project in mind for the Workshop in Sustainable Development Practice, and haven’t contacted us yet, please email Jenny (em419) or Ilona (iv2105) and we’ll follow up with you.
