The Hazard Reduction & Recovery Center is proud to be a founding partner and BAF Satellite institution for the national William Averette Anderson Fund (BAF).<\/a> The BAF\u2019s mission is to \u201cempower the diverse next generation of professionals, academics, and researchers as leaders who are well-equipped to facilitate meaningful social change on complex issues of inequity\u201d in hazard and disaster fields. The BAF accomplishes this mission through mentoring and professional and educational workshops for graduate students across all disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a BAF Satellite, the HRRC hosts workshops with professional and educational development activities for all current fellows and TAMU students interested in the hazard and disaster field. We offer several days of interactive activities from panels to individual feedback with support from the Department of Landscape Architecture & Urban Planning<\/a>, the College of Architecture<\/a>, the Office of Graduate Studies<\/a>, and the Division of Research<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our faculty and students were founding board members and student fellows at the inception of BAF. The HRRC supports the largest number of BAF fellows of any university in the country. We want to encourage YOU to get involved! Graduate students in terminal degree programs can apply to be a fellow. Faculty can apply to be a mentor to fellows or contact the HRRC to volunteer during the workshop. To learn more, visit their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
