Ten Years After Symposium

How has life changed since the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001? This question will be explored in a Symposium just after the 10th anniversary of 9/11, sponsored by the Global Affairs Center at Shoreline Community College. Discussions will focus on four areas: security, religion, international commerce, and military service and veterans’ support.

The first in a series of four Wednesday evening events is at 7 p.m. on October 5, 2011.
