Rumor of the day
Thu, 08/28/2008 - 10:19 — katina.strauchWOW! Just heard from Geane DeLima, Executive Director of the newly-created (5 months ago, no less!) Miller-McCune Center for Research, Media and Public Policy. The tag line is "turning research into solutions." We might have thought that Sara was retired, but no siree! Geane -- who has attended the Charleston Conference many times -- says that the Center was created to promote the results and promise of academic research in solving current issues to the general public. They are publishing articles, research briefs, and stories (in accessible language) in a consumer-like magazine that is national and mailed to about 100,000 subscribers. They also run a website with daily news and stories. Like I said, WOW! Check it out!
