I believe one notice of this has gone out already, but I wanted to add note about the upcoming "Point of View" hosted by our own Booker T. Scruggs and appearing on WDEF-TV this Sunday at 6:00 am (broadcast channel 12, comcast channel 13).

With the first anniversary of 9/11 coming up, the topic of discussion is the effects of the tragedy on Muslim Americans in the U.S., especially college students. I was involved in putting this together, so I was privileged to sit in on the taping. It is a very interesting discussion that includes a UTC student from Pakistan, and a close friend of mine who works with International Students at another university.

Not only might it provide faculty/staff some new perpectives and understanding, but could also be useful for classroom discussion in relevant courses. I encourage you to watch the show or tape it. It also will appear on the UTC cable channel at other times during the week.

Thanks,
