Wagner honors the 10th Anniversary of 9/11 by celebrating diversity
Join us in celebrating diversity in our communities. Within that diversity, Wagner thrives and honors the unique qualities that make up each of us. Wagner honors the opportunity to reflect on the events of September 11, 2001 by hosting two events. Please join us at the Puck Building on September 13, 2011.
Reborn: 9/11 Gallery Exhibition
Tuesday, September 13, 2011
5:00pm - 6:30pm
Human consciousness is finite. Each of us lives for only a passing moment. Perhaps this ephemerality, obvious in the wake of 9/11, compels us to search for the meaning of our existence. For this exhibit, "Reborn," each artist has been asked to exhibit work that is their memory/reaction. The Wagner Graduate School of Public Service and the Steinhardt School have gotten to know each other through the vehicle of art. Cutting across traditional lines is what often brings people together.
Islam in America: The Next 10 Years: Irshad Manji in conversation with John Avlon
Tuesday, September 13, 2011
6:30pm - 8:30pm
Join Irshad Manji, Director of the Moral Courage Project at NYU Wagner, and John Avlon, Senior Columnist for The Daily Beast/Newsweek, as they examine how a new generation, both Muslim and non-Muslim, can re-shape post-9/11 America.
