Michael is a graduate student in AU’s Global Environmental Policy program and will be starting full-time at CECE as a research associate in May. He is particularly interested in finding strategies to better serve communities on the frontlines of climate challenges.
Kyra is CECE’s Operations Manager and is the force behind our grants, budgeting, and student worker support. She earned her master’s in Global Environmental Policy at AU and connected so deeply with CECE’s mission that she chose to stay after graduating.
The CECE research team kicked off the first of their summer site visits in Seattle. Seattle is the first of three visits to various cities throughout the country, where our team will be evaluating and gathering data on disaster-related service corps programs. @fisherdanar.bsky.social
Chris is CECE's Assistant Director. He is passionate about the environment and helping maintain our natural world for future generations. He also strives to help reduce the effects of extreme events so people now and in the future have the opportunity to enjoy our beautiful planet.
In a new peer-reviewed article published in Sociological Methodology, three CECE researchers study the effectiveness of digital techniques to collect survey data in crowds. Check it out here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
