Professor Mark Henderson is excited to be teaching a new special topic course called “Globalization, Policy, and the Environment.” This course guides students in answering questions such as: How do our purchases affect people and the environment? How do trade policies shape international development? And how can actions here improve conditions in exporting countries?
Congratulations to Lori Droste (MPP '11), Carla Hansen (MPP '11), and Natasha Middleton (MPP '13) on their acceptance into Emerge California, a rigorous training program for women who aspire to run for office. We look forward to seeing their names on a ballot in the near future!
Professor Sharyl Rabinovici was recently elected as a director at large of the Northern California Chapter of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI). EERI is a national society of engineers, geoscientists, architects, planners, public officials, and social scientists working to reduce earthquake risk.
