Youk Chhang, Director of the Documentation Center of Cambodia
As Director of the Documentation Center of Cambodia (DC-Cam), Youk Chhang leads Cambodian efforts to collect and organize data on the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge period.
The Documentation Center of Cambodia was founded shortly after the U.S. Congress passed the Cambodian Genocide Justice Act in 1994. With this legislation, the Office of Cambodian Genocide Investigation in the U.S. State Department's Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs was established, which then provided a grant to Yale University's Cambodian Genocide Program (CGP) to conduct research, training and documentation relating to the Khmer Rouge regime.
The CGP founded the Documentation Center of Cambodia in Phnom Penh in 1995 and DC-Cam became an independent Cambodian research institute in 1997, with Youk Chhang as its director. Since 1997, DC-Cam has continued its extensive research and documentation activities. These activities are intended both to record the history of the Khmer Rouge regime for future generations and to compile and organize information that might serve as evidence in any legal accounting for the crimes of the regime. As DC-Cam states, its objectives represent its focus on memory and justice, both of which are critical foundations for the rule of law and genuine national reconciliation in Cambodia.

Professor Covington will share highlights of his teaching and research
career by addressing the question: If we rearranged the educational
experience of learners around positive motivational principles, that is,
promoting the will to learn and a love of learning, what would school look
like?
UC Berkeley - On the eve of his maiden season as head coach of the Cal Bears, Sonny Dykes offers a rare glimpse into his home, his philosophy of life and his unique brand of leadership. "A big part of my job," he says, is "to educate our players not only on how to play football but also how to get their degree, and how to handle themselves in a manner that everybody can be proud of off the field." In this video, Dykes allows viewers to see how he comports himself both on and off the field -- not just as a Pac-12 football coach determined to "get this program to the Rose Bowl," but as a father, a husband, a new California resident and a proud member of the UC Berkeley community.
