President Michael S. Roth ’78 appeared on NPR’s “Morning Edition” with Steve Inskeep on Sept. 5 to discuss why he supports political activism on campus.

The Lancet
Jennifer Tucker, professor of history and director of the Center for the Study of Guns and Society, was named a commissioner of the first-ever Commission on Global Gun Violence and Health from the prestigious medical journal The Lancet. “Gun violence is a global health emergency. Around the world, it contributes to hundreds of thousands of deaths, millions of injuries, and billions of dollars in economic costs. Yet, the scale of gun violence—from the individual to the international level—is still poorly understood,” Tucker said. “…By shining a light on the drivers and impacts of gun violence, the Commission hopes to encourage investment in evidence-based strategies to save and prolong lives.”
