Arlington Campus in Most Sought-After Location in Northern Virginia

Days after the topping-off ceremony for Founders Hall, an article in the New York Times noted that the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor in Arlington, is an "oasis of stability" for its continued ability to attract buyers and developers during the nation's strained economic times.
Terry Holzheimer, School of Public Policy PhD alumnus and Arlington County's director of economic development, is quoted throughout the October 6 article.

Center Provides Exceptional
Contributions to World Medical Association
|
The School of Public Policy (SPP) Center for the Study of International Medical Policies and Practices (CSIMPP) was recently designated by the World Medical Association (WMA) as one of its three cooperating centers. The other two cooperating centers are the Center for Global Health and Medical Diplomacy at the University of North Florida and the Institute of Ethics and History of Medicine at the University of Tübingen, Germany.
CSIMPP received the recognition by making exceptional contributions to WMA’s goals. “CSIMPP works closely with WMA to develop global medical policies in related areas of medical practice and disaster response,” says Arnauld Nicogossian, MD, director of CSIMPP and SPP professor.
CSIMPP, together with the International Society of Microbial Resistance, assisted WMA in developing a policy addressing antibiotics stewardship. CSIMPP collaborated with WMA in collecting information from different national medical societies on educational needs and priorities. The following four focus areas were identified: antimicrobial drug resistance, pandemic influenza preparedness, continuity of medical operations following natural and humanmade disasters, and ethical allocation of scarce health and medical resources.
