From Campaigns to Classrooms: Teaching a New Generation About Advocacy
<p>As we wrap up our 14th season of EJB Talks Dean Stuart Shapiro talks to Bob Sommer GSNB ’84, a Bloustein School alumnus, lecturer, and member of the school's Advisory Board. As Bob talks about his journey from an accounting major to a career in public policy, he discusses his transition from working on a congressional campaign to roles in government and lobbying. His early career included a stint at the EPA during the Reagan administration, and he highlights how a chance meeting with the late governor,and then Congressman Jim Florio, set him on his path to a career in government affairs. Bob emphasizes that lobbying is a fundamental part of the American system, and explains how advocacy has evolved with time and changes in technology and regulations. Part of his approach to teaching advocacy, he explains, is focusing on practical skills and the importance of listening and adapting to different perspectives, stressing the importance of understanding the other side's arguments while also being able to articulate one's own position effectively. He concludes by emphasizing the need for more effective advocacy and the role of educators in preparing the next generation of advocates.<br></p>

Sea Level Rise, Community Engagement, and New Jersey's Environmental Future with Janine Barr
<p><a href="https://cupr.rutgers.edu/people/janine-barr/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Janine Barr</a>, a researcher at the Bloustein School's <a href="https://cupr.rutgers.edu/eac/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Environmental Analysis and Communication (EAC) Group</a>, joins Dean <a href="https://bloustein.rutgers.edu/people/shapiro/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Stuart Shapiro</a> this week on EJB Talks to discuss the center's work on climate change impacts. A self-proclaimed Jersey girl, Janine traces her path to environmental policy back to an internship with the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs. The internship not only drew her toward environmental policy, but specifically toward issues affecting her home state. She describes how the EAC Group brings together the branches of policy, planning, and public health to integrate community needs into local, regional, and state planning initiatives, supported by robust stakeholder engagement and data analysis. Janine also speaks to her involvement with the New Jersey Sea Level Rise and Coastal Storms Science and Technology Advisory Panel (STAP) Report, a major effort to equip decision-makers with updated science on sea level rise and coastal storms. The report projects sea level rise of 1.8 to 4.3 feet by 2100 depending on emissions scenarios. She closes by stressing the importance of clear, ongoing communication with the public, so communities can meaningfully engage with questions of risk tolerance and long-term planning needs.</p><p>Links mentioned in today's podcast:</p><ul><li>New Jersey Climate Change Resource Centers <a href="https://njclimateresourcecenter.rutgers.edu/resources/nj-sea-level-rise-reports/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Science and Technology Advisory Panel (STAP) Report website</a></li><li><a href="https://njclimateresourcecenter.rutgers.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/NJ-Rising-Seas-and-Changing-Coastal-Storms-Summary-FAQs-11-2025.pdf" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">STAP Report Summary and FAQ document</a> (PDF, short)</li><li>Full <a href="https://njclimateresourcecenter.rutgers.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/NJ-Rising-Seas-and-Changing-Coastal-Storms-11-2025.pdf" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">STAP Report</a> (PDF)</li><li><a href="https://dep.nj.gov/njreal/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">NJ REAL Rules</a></li></ul><p><br></p>

Small Wins, Big Impact: On the Front Lines of Local Public Health with Peter Tabbot
<p>In this episode of EJB Talks, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-tabbot-308a468/"><u>Peter Tabbot ’91 MPH ‘97, CPM</u></a>, longtime local health officer in Rockaway, NJ and a Bloustein School public health lecturer, shares his path into public health with Dean <a href="https://bloustein.rutgers.edu/people/shapiro">Stuart Shapiro</a>, and what it means to lead at the community level. He explains the wide-ranging role of health officers, from managing essential services to working with governments and residents. Reflecting on navigating the COVID-19 pandemic, Tabbot calls it both the most challenging and most rewarding period of his career, marked by rapidly changing policies, public resistance, and the need for constant local coordination. He also discusses ongoing challenges, including vaccine hesitancy, funding uncertainties, and growing skepticism toward public health. His message to students and future professionals: envision yourself making a difference in individual’s lives and embrace the “small wins” in improving community health, one person and one municipality at a time.</p>
