Prof. Manfred Keil, associate director of the Lowe Institute of Political Economy, and Muxi Li ’23, a Lowe Institute research analyst, published an op-ed in The San Bernardino Sun, “National recession vs. Inland Empire recession, where do we stand?” They wrote: “… whether the list of pundits declaring that the U.S. economy is in recession are right or wrong, the IE region is not.”
In a Los Angeles Times opinion piece, Prof. Minxin Pei measured the impact of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Taiwan visit. “Even if (Pelosi) had decided to skip Taipei on her tour of Asia, China’s bellicosity toward Taiwan would have continued to intensify, possibly triggering another Taiwan Strait crisis in the near future,” he wrote.
Prof. Pei also explored this topic in an op-ed for Bloomberg.
Prof. Frederick Lynch was interviewed by the Daily Bulletin about people who have avoided being infected by COVID-19 and are weighing the tradeoffs of easing their precautions. “The decision a lot of Americans are thinking about is, how long do you want to put your life on hold? It’s the third summer of COVID. … A lot of people are basically saying, ‘The hell with it,’” he said. Lynch, who teaches a course on health care policy, noted that the vast majority of COVID-19 deaths have been among people 65 and older.

A grandfather and his grandson share an affinity for their shared alma mater
Peter Adams ’61 GP’21 and Hank Snowdon ’21 share a bond that goes beyond grandparent and grandchild—they share their CMC alma mater.
Despite being six decades apart, their CMC experience has several similarities. They both lived in Wohlford Hall; they both majored in Economics, (although Snowdon added a data science sequence, which didn’t exist in Adams’ day) and they both have a deep appreciation for CMC’s culture.
Chelina Odbert ’99 helps underserved communities with her design and community development nonprofit
1976 and 1981 brought big changes for CMC
Looking back, Maddie Hall ’14 wishes she’d taken more science at CMC.
That may seem surprising coming from a plant biotech CEO recently named on the 2021 Forbes Under 30: Science list.
But Hall is keenly aware of her uniqueness among the other “scientists” on that Forbes list, nearly all of whom are MDs or PhDs.
Hall has a bachelor of arts in government and psychology. That hasn’t held her back.
