P365 - 2013 - Day 338 - Special Visitor to Campus
(Guest Blogger - My Wonderful Husband)
It was a big day on campus today, I was moderator for a panel on preventing genocide and this included a visit from the United Nations Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, Adama Dieng. This topic remains one of the primary reasons why I pursued my Ph.D. and I hope that this event inspired many of the students on campus to work towards the prevention of future genocides and mass atrocities. This was quite a special event for our students and the campus community and I was honored to be a participant.
“The West's post-Holocaust pledge that genocide would never again be tolerated proved to be hollow, and for all the fine sentiments inspired by the memory of Auschwitz, the problem remains that denouncing evil is a far cry from doing good.” Philip Gourevitch
