MPD students celebrate Labor Day 2015 at the beach

All programs have their traditions, and for each of its ten years the particpants in the MPD program have marked Labor Day with a picnic at Redondo Beach;MPD director Prof. Nick Cull notes: "Its a wonderful way to get everyone together at the start of a new academic year, and after all the beach is one of the best things about being in Southern California.  Students bring pot-luck dishes reflecting their own backgrounds from around the world.It's such an institution that staff, alumni, family and friends of the program often come along too."
