More than 50 graduate students engaged in poverty research on
campus attended the Spring Retreat on April 2. Deputy Director
Marianne Page discussed funding and mentoring opportunities
available through the Center and connected students with faculty
and each other for some “trans-disciplinary” interactions.
Research Affiliates Cassandra Hart, Katherine Conger, Kim Shauman
and Ann Stevens shared their perspectives on the value of
interdisciplinary approaches to poverty research, and our other
featured panelists discussed career opportunities, both academic
and non-academic, including:
Debbie Reed (Mathematica Corporation)
Peter Huckfeldt (RAND Corporation)
Jennifer Gregson (California Department of Public Health)
Rudy Haapanen (UC Davis)
Heather Rose (UC Davis)
We look forward to our next retreat in the Fall of 2012. This
retreat was generously sponsored by the Office of Graduate
Studies.
