Invitation to Symposium devoted to Peace
On Sunday afternoon, November 15, from 2:00PM to 5:00PM in the Forum, The Interpreters' Forum, Inc., a nonprofit, nonpartisan and nonsectarian foundation dedicated to peace through education and in residence on campus will conduct a symposium entitled: Education: Conduit & Catalyst for Peace, A Reflective Afternoon.
On April 18, 2005, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Elie Wiesel, concluded his address in Baker Memorial Chapel with the following words:
Try to make your foe your friend, your enemy your companion.
Addressing the subject will be a panel comprised of our dear friend and colleague Dr. Mohamed Esa, Chair of the Department of Foreign Languages and Professor of German Language and Literature; Ms. Rachel Milner Gillers, a graduate of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy and the Harvard Divinity School, is a Conflict Resolution Practitioner, now a Senior Associate with the Consensus Building Institute in Washington DC; and, Brigadier General Michael L. Combest, US Army (Retired), a West Point graduate who upon retirement joined The Interpreters' Forum and recently became its Chairman. General Combest among his many assignments over 3-decades participated in the Dayton Peace Accords.
Three concurrent breakout sessions will be integrated into the symposium offering an opportunity for all to exchange ideas with the panelists.
On behalf of Dr. Joan Coley, President of McDaniel College and Co-Host of the symposium, we look forward to welcoming you.
Cordially,
Dr. Manny Goldman
