Commencement marks the end of your time as a student at GPS, but it’s only the beginning of your journey to making your mark on global affairs. Congratulations, Class of 2024! #GPSCommencement #GPSProud

I learned a lot in Tokyo from our amazing UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy alumni! Originally an International Relations and Pacific Studies (IRPS) program, we continue to have strong links with Asia.

In this episode of "Driven to solve," professor Kyle Handley addresses his research focus on the process of how policy is made – and in some cases, unmade – and how it can create uncertainty for people making economic, business or investment decisions: ow.ly/bXjo50UVN0W

Using product-level data, I estimated the share of US imports from Mexico and Vietnam that are likely to be transshipped from China. Full report here: 02072025-brief-identify-tariff-evasion-web.pdf

A great example of how University research saves lives. AI cameras developed and run out of UC San Diego spot wildfires before they spread. wsj.com/tech/ai/these-…

International students bring a diversity of views & experiences + education is a major US export. Yet student visa appointments are scarce in select countries. Even allies like Japan. Makes me worry that student visas are now chips in trade negotiations. jp.usembassy.gov/visas/
