President Higdon\u27s 95th Commencement Address

President Lee Higdon said the Class of 2013 has met the challenges he outlined for them when they arrived during a torrential downpour in the late summer of 2009. You have become leaders on this campus – relied upon by students, faculty and staff for your opinions, your expertise and your involvement,” he told the graduates. President Higdon added that the Class of 2013 had the honor of attending Connecticut College during an important time in its history. The Class celebrated the College’s Centennial; witnessed the ribbon cuttings for the new fitness center and the new science center; was the first to benefit from the Residential Education Fellows program, in which professors and students work together to enhance intellectual programming in the residence halls; and is the first to include Posse Foundation scholars, a group of student leaders who have helped the College become a more welcoming community for people from all backgrounds. “You have your entire future ahead of you. I hope you continue to embrace learning in all forms; continue to cross boundaries and to make connections others don’t see; and continue to live the values of the Honor Code and to respect and value equity and inclusiveness as part of your life-long learning. Above all, please stay connected to Connecticut College,” he said

President Higdon\u27s 93rd Commencement Address

President Higdon tells the Centennial Class of 2011: You have the unique experience of graduating when the College is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Every Commencement is an opportunity to look back and look ahead. Your Commencement is special because the whole College is looking with you. Further, he lauds the graduates who have shared your talents with the world through study abroad, internships and special research projects. I am impressed and deeply gratified by the work you have done – it is a strong indication of the impact you will continue to have throughout your lives. You have become experienced activists and advocates. Working to support, nurture and protect refugees in Rwanda, white lions in Africa, impoverished youth in Brazil… And in the US, studying energy alternatives, mental health issues and acting as advocates for underprivileged youth – in your home communities and right here in New London

Terrorism as a Global Threat: Models and Defence Strategies

Este texto corresponde à comunicação de abertura da Conferência “Terrorism as a Global Threat” em que se procura fazer um enquadramento geral sobre as várias vertentes do terrorismo internacional e o desenvolvimento da Conferência que teve lugar no IDN. É de particular importância toda a evolução ocorrida depois de 11 de Setembro, mas também os antecedentes da Al Qaeda criada em Março de 88 e o resumo de acções de sucesso das medidas contra-terroristas que de um modo quase sempre discreto conseguiram diminuir a capacidade operacional daquela organização. Por outro lado, os objectivos do terrorismo transnacional encontram-se em todo o mundo com consequências muito gravosas na economia e no turismo
