Welcome,

The purpose of the symposium is to reconnect alumni and friends to the College and to each other around a public policy issue of great national importance. I am inviting all Political Science graduates, as well as others who are friends of the Department, to consider key themes associated with port security in the post 9/11 world.

We will benefit from the expertise of college alumni and key players in the world of transportation and homeland security. The subjects will be weighty, but the atmosphere will be one of warm intellectual engagement, built on creating bonds and strengthening already existing relationships around a topic of great intellectual and practical significance.

I extend the warmest Whittier welcome to all.

Warmly,

Frederic A. Bergerson, Ph.D.
