RENDEZ-VOUS 68
Monday, May 15 2000

Thank you Connie for accepting our rendez-vous. May I ask you to introduce yourself?

I have been on the faculty at the University of California, Irvine since 1988 (my first job!) where I teach marketing to MBA students. I also have a joint appointment at UCI's School of Social Ecology. I have a masters degree in Psychology, an MBA, and a PhD in Marketing Management, all from Vanderbilt University. I became involved in tobacco control in 1991 when I received my first grant from the Tobacco-Related Disease Research Program (TRDRP) funded by California's Proposition 99.
