  • GSPP 2014-2015 Program Bulletin FINAL VERSION FOR
    Speaking truth to power. Aaron Wildavsky – GSPP Founding Dean Welcome Welcome to Berkeley’s Goldman School of Public Policy (GSPP). We prepare talented people to become outstanding public policy leaders. We cultivate an intellectual community that invents and promotes innovative policy ideas. We seek to change the world by bringing knowledge and understanding to policy debates. GSPP is the nation’s premier graduate institution for education and research in public policy. It is a diverse and exciting community of students, faculty, staff and visitors, all committed to the highest standards of policy analysis, intellectual rigor, and energetic debate. Our faculty members not only perform cutting edge research—they shape policy through their public commentaries and their active involvement in government. Our staff supports our mission through their exceptional experience, professionalism, and dedication. Our students come with rich domestic and international experiences, and they bring extraordinary commitment, engagement, and energy to the school. The Goldman School was one of the very first institutions in the United States established for the analysis and development of public policy. For over forty years GSPP has led the way in the teaching and practice of policy analysis—using microeconomic, statistical, political, management, legal and information- technology skills to help solve real-world problems. Today, policy analysis drives governments towards reasoned analysis and policy innovation. With the new millennium, public policy must deal with the challenges of global warming, world food and economic security, AIDS, stopping terrorism, and improving governance. GSPP prepares leaders who can meet these challenges. GSPP students are exposed to the unparalleled intellectual, professional and social experiences that only a great university like Berkeley can offer.

  • HECCOP Compendium
    This publication is out of print. Visit www.acha.org/HECCOP/Compendium for an online database of programs. Behavioral Change Approaches to Promote COVID-19 Mitigation Behaviors Among Students Examples from Institutions of Higher Education Created in partnership with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Purpose of This Document This catalogue provides examples of behavioral change approaches implemented in 2020–2021 by institutions of higher education (IHEs) in the United States, promoting everyday strategies that reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, such as mask wearing, proper hand washing and use of hand sanitizer, social and physical distancing, staying home when sick, and avoiding close contact with those outside your household. This document is not meant to be prescriptive or be considered as guidance. Rather, this document provides information on existing efforts implemented by IHEs and is not intended to be an endorsement of any one approach. Organizations have different needs and operate in different contexts, influencing which approaches are the best fit; also, the evidence base for approaches implemented by IHEs to promote COVID- 19 mitigation behaviors among students remains limited. This catalogue of approaches that IHEs have used can help inform your mitigation plans. ACHA is working to turn this document into a searchable online directory and is asking for IHEs to submit their programs and policies for inclusion in the directory. Tell us about the approaches that your campus has been successful in using to reduce transmission by filling out this form. Notice to Readers The approaches and examples listed in this document were implemented by organizations outside of CDC and without CDC funding; these examples are provided for illustrative purposes and therefore do not constitute a CDC or federal government activity or endorsement.
