Both documents were released at the CGS Legislative Forum on April 24, 2008 in Washington, DC. Making a Difference includes a selection of hundreds of individuals who earned graduate degrees from U.S. institutions and who have made important contributions to our quality of life — either economic, societal, or cultural. The stories featured in Making a Difference are intended to augment the contents of the Graduate Education and the Public Good report. These stories highlight a larger sampling of people with graduate degrees who have made contributions to our collective good. At its core, graduate education is about people, and the value of graduate education is best understood by looking at the impact made by a wide range of individuals in multiple sectors. The individuals in this report were nominated by the dean of the graduate school from which they received one or more of their graduate degrees. The list is organized by geographic region, and within region by state and institution of higher education. Each entry includes the name of the graduate, the type of degree (Master’s, Ph.D., or both), the year the degree was conferred, and a short summary of the person’s accomplishments. Only the degree(s) received from the nominating institution are reflected in each entry. The geographic regions were based on those used by the U.S. Census. The Council of Graduate Schools does not vouch for the accuracy of each individual entry as this information is the province of each of the nominating institutions. For further information about the Graduate Education and the Public Good report or Making a Difference: A Selection of Graduate Degree Holders and their Contributions to the Public Good, please visit the Council of Graduate Schools at www.cgsnet.org.

    HUST 4501: Humanitarian Affairs: Foreign Service Program Institute of International Humanitarian Affairs Fordham University – Summer Session II Monday – Thursday, 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM Lincoln Center – Classroom 404 INSTRUCTOR INFORMATION Instructor: Dan Gwinnell Email: [email protected] Tel: +1 908-868-6489 Office hours: By appointment – but I am very flexible and will always be happy to make time to meet with you! COURSE OVERVIEW The Institute of International Humanitarian Affairs (IIHA) prepares current and future aid workers with the knowledge and skills needed to respond effectively in times of humanitarian crisis and disaster. Our courses are borne of an interdisciplinary curriculum that combines academic theory with the practical experience of humanitarian professionals. The Humanitarian Studies program is multi-disciplinary and draws on a variety of academic and intellectual frameworks to examine and critique the international community’s response to situations of emergency, disaster and development. There is a natural tension in humanitarian studies between the practical implementation of humanitarian initiatives related to disaster or development; and, on the other hand, more introspective and academic attempts to understand and critique the effectiveness of these initiatives. Understanding how to effectively navigate this tension between theory and practice is at the heart of Fordham’s undergraduate program in humanitarian studies, and will serve as a guiding theme of this class. Throughout the course, we will work to try and form a coherent set of opinions on a) whether humanitarian action is a positive and necessary component of our global landscape, and b) if so, how our theory can guide our practice to help improve the efficiency and outcomes of humanitarian endeavors.

    OJAI AT BERKELEY VIJAY IYER, MusIC DIRECTOR The four programs presented in Berkeley this month mark the seventh year of artistic partnership between the Ojai Music Festival and Cal Performances and represent the combined efforts of two great arts organizations committed to innovative and adventur- ous programming.

The Vijay Iyer Trio (Iyer, stephan Crump on bass, and Marcus Gilmore on drums) made its name with two acclaimed and influential albums. Acceler ando (2012) was named Jazz Album of the Year in three separate critics polls, by the Los Angeles Times, Amazon.com, and NPR.
