Like much of the rest of the world toward the tail of the year end, Talia McCray is busy, busy, busy.
"I'm swamped with work (grading), advising on final projects, organizing a forum for 100 people tomorrow," she mails from the States. "Attached is my resume. Let me know what else you need."
Talia is assistant professor of transportation planning in the College of Business Administration at Kingston's University of Rhode Island.
