Director of St. Thomas’s journalism programme, Philip Lee, addresses a question during the September 18 panel discussion on terrorism, while Political Science professor Joe Masciulli and Religious Studies professor Alexandra Bain listen.

Following the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States, the University hosted a community discussion on terrorism in the Ted Daigle Auditorium on September 18. The panel explored the ensuing effects of the assaults. Professors from four departments spoke to the roomful of students, analysing different perspectives and the procedures of comprehension, media coverage, societal repair, and retaliation.

Kelly Lamrock, Director of Student Affairs, moderated the discussion, which featured:
* Philip Lee, Director of Journalism
* Joe Masciulli, Assistant Professor of Political Science
* Alexandra Bain, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies
* Sylvia Hale, Professor and Chair of Sociology.

St. Thomas often hosts community forums and discussions to help its students become more aware of local situations and global implications.
