Global Citizenship: Thinking Through
9/11
In response to the events of this past fall,
Rensselaer's 9/11 Open Response Committee, with funding
from the Office of Institute Diversity, has organized a
seminar series, "Global Citizenship: Thinking Through
9/11." The series is designed to foster open and ongoing
discussions on current issues and global topics of direct
relevance to the Rensselaer community.

"Those of us who have been working
on this series hope that it can help jumpstart a sustained
initiative to create a campus intellectual culture with
"global reach." We hope the series will help
lay the groundwork for other events and activities."
