I just learned that in August 2015, Brian Jarrett became the director of the Negotiation, Conflict Resolution, & Peacebuilding Program at California State University Dominguez Hills. Brian is one of the earliest graduates of our LLM Program at Missouri and he went on to get a PhD in sociology at the University of Hawaii. Before moving to CSU, he was at the University of Alaska for five years, where he built their DR program from the ground up.
