On June 10, 2016, the Center was honored to host Karl and Dorothy Broom, son and daughter of Leonard and Gretchan, whose support has made the Center possible.  Karl and Dotty were in Santa Barbara due to the sad occasion of Gretchan's passing at the age of 97. Despite the occasion, it was an honor for many of us to meet Karl (second row from back, third from left, blue shirt) and Dotty (next to Karl, in white), and to share with them the many ways the Center has supported cutting-edge demographic research and training at UCSB.  Our warmest thanks go out to the entire Broom family for their support of, and interest in, the Center.
