    <p> </p>
    
    <p>John Warchal is an alumnus of our EHS undergraduate program, and holds
    a Master of Science degree from Johns Hopkins University.  He'll be
    talking on 11/1/2017 (Wednesday, 3:00pm-5:00pm in Sherman Hall, Room 305, A Wing) about the importance of using analytical
    methods in emergency preparedness and response decisions...which is one of the
    most powerful tools for breaking away from the old "well, we always did it
    this way" crowd. Much of what John has to share with us can be applied to
    many of the decisions we make, which affect the well-being and lives of
    others.   Be there!</p><p>LIVE LINK via BLACKBOARD: </p><p><u><span><a href="https://us.bbcollab.com/guest/13876aa9beb44d42b1e7cfe5df3004f6" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://us.bbcollab.com/guest/13876aa9beb44d42b1e7cfe5df3004f6</a></span></u></p>
