In May, Professor Harvey M. Jacobs (Urban & Regional Planning) continued his (and his Department's) long-time participation in the activities of the International Center for Land Policy Studies and Training of Taiwan.

He taught a one week short course as part of their 113th Regular Session on Land Policy for Sustainable Rural Development; his students were 25 mid-career professionals from 25 different countries globally.

While in Taiwan he was also invited to give a lecture at the Department of Land Economics of National Chengchi University, and to facilitate a faculty round table on comparative research at the University's College of Social Science.
