During the mass, attendees prayed for victims of 9/11 whose names were submitted by loved ones in the St. Francis Community. Reflecting Through Literature O n Friday, September 9, American Studies and English Professor Athena Devlin participated in an hour-long radio program, Vox Pop : 9/11 Community Conversation on WAMC in Albany. Dr. Devlin used literature about both past tragedies and 9/11 as a starting point to discuss how people responded then and now. * Degrees awarded posthumously D imitar Georgiev ’10, now studying in the Security Studies Program at Georgetown University, earned second place and a $10,000 scholarship from the 2011 Richard A. Clarke National Scholarly Monograph Contest in commemoration of the 9/11 attacks for his work, Failure of American Strategic Thought and 9/11. The Center for First Amendment Studies sponsored the contest and hosted an awards ceremony on Sept. 14 with Richard A. Clarke, a terrorism and security advisor to several Presidents, and NJ Congressman Rob Andrews. “9/11 was an event that defined my generation in a similar way that Hitler defined a generation 70 years ago. The contest provided me with the opportunity to reexamine what happened, why, and what came after,” said Mr. Georgiev who added that the prize has reinforced his decision to pursue a career in political science. You can read Georgiev’s award-winning monograph at www.firstamendmentstudies.org. Dr. Craig Smith (Cal State Long Beach), Rep. Rob Andrews, Steven Markoff (911plus.org), Richard A. Clarke and Dimitar Georgiev ’10 (seated). Listen to the program at sfc.edu/terrier Reflect with Terrier A look back — see how the Terrier covered 9/11 in the Winter 2002 issue.
