Dear H+T-
We are honoring Dr. Jackson's leadership and career as he retires from
UCLA. There are 2 days left to support the Richard Jackson Designing
Healthy Communities Fellowship (https://spark.ucla.edu/project/8922). Gifts
are tax deductible and will be used to establish a fund to support
promising UCLA graduate students to pursue a project or field experience in
environmental health (and there are cool UCLA gifts to thank you for your
support).
Please forward to others who might be interested in supporting his
fellowship -- https://spark.ucla.edu/project/8922
Kind Regards,
Kara MacLeod
