Guest speaker David Ratner of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy visited Judith Stallings-Ward’s Imaging Global Migration Today class on Feb. 12, 2018, to speak about his experience with rescue operations of migrants at sea.
“I really liked the way he addressed the issue of rescue operations at sea from both a humanitarian and a professional perspective,” said junior International Studies major Taylor Nash. “You could tell he really cared about these people’s lives and wanted to help them, yet at the same time, he held himself to high professional standards to uphold the laws at sea.”
