New major in 全球 Public Health and the Common Good
Highly competitive undergraduate program emphasizes both scientific and social dimensions of public health.
Welcome to the first SchillerNow issue of 2023. At this time last year we had just completed moving into 245 Beacon Street. 从那时起, t席勒太阳城官网所 has launched new programs and courses, and we have hired three exceptional Core faculty. 你们上学期见过前两个. We are excited to welcome our third Core faculty member, 化学家黄杰尔, 这期杂志的主角是谁. Now that a couple of months has passed since COP27, some of our delegates are sharing how attending that prominent global policymaking event is shaping their scholarly work and their professional paths.
While we are delivering a range of initiatives and our Core faculty is producing impactful research, we have increased our commitment to funding promising work of faculty across BC. We are continuing the popular SI-GECS program and have introduced a new grant program, SI-RITEA, which encourages external partnerships and research in the 全球 South. 教师 should review the deadlines and criteria included in the 席勒社区新闻 below.
教师, 学生, 工作人员, 以及校园以外的合作伙伴, I hope to see you at a Schiller event in the near future. We have included a handful of our upcoming events in the following sections.
