Humphrey Scholar at School of Law
Dr. Liu Guozhi of Beijing, China, studied as part of the UC Davis Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program at the Law School during the 2005-2006 academic year. She is with the State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA) of China, and she assists with the contact and cooperation between China and intergovernmental environmental organizations, especially the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP).
As a Humphrey Fellow, Dr. Liu Guozhi studied how the U.S. government develops its positions and policies in the field of international environmental protection and development; and also how it implements its obligations under the multilateral environmental agreements to which it is a party.
The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program was initiated in 1978 by President Jimmy Carter to honor the late senator and vice president, a long-time advocate of international cooperation and understanding. The program brings accomplished mid-career professionals from designated countries of Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Europe, and Eurasia to the United States for one year of non-degree graduate study and related practical professional experience. Fellowships are granted competitively to professional candidates with a commitment to public service in both the public and private sectors.
