Hsien-Ho (Ray) Chang (Ph.D. '15) studied in the doctoral program in Disaster Science & Management at SPPA. He conducted disaster response related research in the Disaster Research Center (DRC), where he received rigorous academic training and learned how to become a scholar.

"I entered SPPA as a practitioner, but left this program as an academic appointee,” says Chang of his experience.

DRC successfully equipped Ray and helped him to switch his disaster management career from the practical to the academic community.

He is grateful for the friendly faculties, rigorous academic training, and abundant resources (including the DRC library) at SPPA. Of his experience in Delaware, Ray says, “without the education I received from SPPA and DRC, I could not go as far as I have today.
