A special interest group of the American Educational Research Association has named Lauren Lindstrom, dean of the School of Education, a distinguished researcher.

Presentation of the award from the Special and Inclusive Education Special Interest Group had been scheduled to take place next month in San Francisco during the association鈥檚 annual conference 鈥 but the association decided March 5 to cancel the live conference, due to the coronavirus. (It has been moved to a virtual format.)

Lindstrom has made significant, international-reaching contributions to the field of special education, particularly in the area of career development and post-school outcomes for youth with disabilities. Her research mainly focuses on improving outcomes for young women with disabilities, underserved youth, and the role of families in career development.

According to one colleague in her field, Lindstrom has a 鈥渟trong and enduring commitment to finding ways of ensuring youth with disabilities have the very best chance of flourishing in their schools, in their communities and in their daily lives. She is doing the work that matters most in the lives of diverse students and their families.鈥

Lindstrom joined 新澳门六合彩内幕信息 Davis as dean in June 2017 after more than 25 years as an academic and administrator in the University of Oregon鈥檚 College of Education. She is an affiliated faculty member at the 新澳门六合彩内幕信息 Davis MIND Institute and a member of the 新澳门六合彩内幕信息 Davis Graduate Group in Education.

Fire Chief Nate Trauernicht has been elected president of the Institution of Fire Engineers, USA Branch, and appointed to the America Burning Revisited 2020 Task Force.

Eight British chief fire officers founded the Institution of Fire Engineers in 1918 鈥渢o promote, encourage and improve the science and practice of fire engineering, fire prevention and fire extinction, and all operations and expedients connected therewith, and to give impetus to ideas likely to be useful in connection with or in relation to such science and practice to the members of the Institution and to the community at-large.鈥

A similarly small group of fire service leaders met in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in February 1996 to establish the U.S. branch, one of nearly 60 branches worldwide with a total membership of more than 11,000 fire officers.

鈥淎merica Burning Revisited 2020鈥 will be the third update of 1973鈥檚 鈥淎merica Burning,鈥 a federal report examining deaths and property loss from fire and making recommendations for increased safety of citizens and firefighting personnel.
