Dr. Arendt teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses in organizational behavior, leadership, strategic management, and sustainability. Arendt conducts an annual travel abroad course in Cuernavaca, Mexico. She served as one of EERI’s Reconnaissance Co-leads for the Mexico earthquake and traveled to Mexico in October 2017 and serves on the EERI Board of Directors.
 
<img src="/images/Alcocer_S.jpg" alt="Alcocer S" width="170" height="171" style="margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; float: left;" />Sergio Alcocer, UNAM Sergio Alcocer is a professor of structural engineering at the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico. He served as undersecretary for North America in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Mexico. He is a former President of the Mexican Society of Earthquake Engineering and a previous member of the EERI Board of Directors. Alcocer has been involved in many aspects of Mexico’s response to the September 19 earthquake.
 
<img src="/images/Hutchinson.png" alt="Hutchinson" width="170" height="180" style="margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; float: left;" />Tara Hutchinson, UC San Diego/GEER Tara Hutchinson is a professor at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering. Professor Hutchinson is an earthquake engineering theoretician and experimentalist who has published significant papers in leading structural, civil, and earthquake engineering journals. She has creatively applied information technology to the evaluation of earthquake damage to structures. Hutchinson was one of the GEER Co-Team Leaders for the UNAM-GEER reconnaissance team.
 
<img src="/images/Allen_R.jpg" alt="Allen R" width="170" height="205" style="margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; float: left;" />
Richard Allen, UC Berkeley 
Richard Allen is the Director of the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory, and Professor and Chair of the Department of Earth and Planetary Science at UC Berkeley. He is an expert in earthquake alerting systems, developing methodologies to detect earthquakes and issue warnings prior to shaking. His group uses seismic and GPS sensing networks, and is experimenting with the use of smartphones. Allen was the seismology lead for the EERI Earthquake Early Warning Reconnaissance Team.

 Luciano Roberto Fernández Sola, UAM
Luciano Fernandez is a Professor of Structural Engineering at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana unidad Azcapotzalco. He currently serves as Secretary for the Mexican Society of Structural Engineers. Fernandez coordinated the structural engineering brigades conducting building evaluations in Mexico City following the September 19 earthquake.
 
 
 

<img src="/images/Fischer_E.jpg" alt="Fischer E" width="170" height="180" style="margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; float: left;" />Erica Fischer, Oregon State University Erica Fischer is an Assistant Professor in Civil & Construction Engineering at Oregon State University. Dr. Fischer’s research interests revolve around innovative approaches to improve the resilience and robustness of structural systems affected by natural and man-made hazards. She has participated in post-earthquake reconnaissance team missions including Haiti, Napa, and Italy and was a member of the Reid Middleton reconnaissance team that studied lifelines impacts in Mexico.
