The University of Guam Regional Center for Public Policy is embarking on a new chapter, positioning itself as a key player in Pacific research and regional collaboration.

 

Interim director Chirag M. Bhojwani and dean of the School of Business and Public Administration, Roseann Jones, PhD, are guiding the center's strategic direction.
 
Bhojwani previously served as chief of staff at the Guam Legislature and worked at the U.S. Department of the Interior's Office of Insular Affairs.
 
As a tenured professor of economics, Jones’ expertise in economics and regional planning, coupled with her many years of living and working in the region, gives her a multifaceted understanding of current issues in the Pacific.
 
"For the past few months, we have been finishing all preexisting contracts and closeout reports," Bhojwani said. "Now that we're done, we're shifting gears and looking at how we will move forward."
