Great New Programs Coming Your Way this Week
Two new courses are now listed on open for enrollment on our registration page:
Join us on Wednesday, August 5, 2020 in welcoming Dr. Stephen Hoadley live from Auckland, New Zealand! His topic, Pandemics and their Influence on Geopolitics will review how, 
through history, upsurges of disease have compelled significant geopolitical shifts, as well as economic and social changes. Only in the last century we appeared to prevail over diseases such as smallpox, malaria and polio…but new ones keep attacking us! We will review some of the geopolitical consequences of past epidemics from the Roman Empire to the British Empire. The second half of the session will include the instructor's speculations regarding the current coronavirus and potential international political effects related to how President Trump and President Xi are managing it. To enroll, contact Student Services at (530) 757-8777 or enroll online.
