Sivan joined Conferences and Institutes in June 2025. She loves lists and timelines and is never happier than when she is at the center of a web of logistics with a clipboard. Sivan has a background in higher education program management and a degree in theatre with a focus in stage management from Ithaca College, which she is eager to use as a program manager for C&I.
Previously, Sivan held several positions at Columbia University, where she supported programs for community impact, arts access, student events, and career services. She believes very strongly in the power of gathering people together and is looking forward to building strong relationships with the Penn State and Happy Valley communities.
While Sivan did not attend Penn State, she did grow up in State College and is extremely excited to be back in town after many years in the New York area. In her free time, she enjoys swimming laps, reading books that end happily, cooking things that take all day, and playing word games with her husband and daughters.
