In response to our course participants’ interest in disaster management, we have developed a new five-week online course entitled Grassroots Participatory Disaster Management. In light of the many recent natural disasters, we feel this course will help expand our students’ expertise by understanding participatory methods of working in high-stress, disaster situations. Please visit our website to review this and other online training offerings.
