The Department of Ethnic Studies this year celebrates the 20th anniversary of its genesis. After a tumultuous beginning, it has grown into a prominent and respected department that has great support from the university administration.

In a national project designed to help communities cope with extreme events, Liesel Ritchie, associate director for research at the Natural Hazards Center in the Institute of Behavioral Science at the University of Colorado Boulder, has been chosen by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to serve as a Disaster Resilience Fellow.
