Geoffrey Wandesforde-Smith retired at the beginning of 2004 from the Department of Political Science at UC Davis, where he taught environmental law and policy and was Faculty Director of the Political Science and International Relations Internship Programs. He also held a faculty appointment in the Department of Environmental Science and Policy. He served on the Academic Senate committee that recommended a permanent UC presence in the California state capital and currently directs the Environment Program at the University of California Center Sacramento (UCCS). The overall program for Scholar Interns, who are recruited from all campuses in the UC system also includes a specialization in public affairs journalism. Scholar Interns undertake a mixture of academic and internship work while in residence at UCCS. He is the Chairman of the Board of the California Voter Foundation, the major Internet-based source of voter information in the state. CVF is broadly supported to pursue a variety of projects in campaign disclosure, voting technology, voter engagement, and voter privacy. He is also Associate Editor and Reviews Editor of the Journal of International Wildlife Law and Policy, a Routledge/Taylor and Francis publication. Innovative instructional uses of the Web in regularly scheduled courses were prime agenda items, and were reflected in regularly scheduled course syllabi and student work requirements. The International Law course was notable for its ongoing collaboration with colleagues at the University of North London (now London Metropolitan University). This instructional use of the web also contributed to the Practicum in Diplomacy, organized and led by Ambassador Genta Hawkins Holmes, who was formerly a Diplomat in Residence in the Department and subsequently served as United States Ambassador to Australia. Research collaborations involve colleagues at London Metropolitan University, on international environmental capacity building in the Caribbean; at the Journal of International Wildlife Law and Policy, on biodiversity conservation, livelihoods, and development in Africa; and with Dr. Magdolna Rözs, a Hubert Humphrey Fellow, a project on environmental law and policy in Hungary to be published in 2007.
