Addressing Today's Global Threats and Empowering Our Local Community

The Community College of Aurora partnered with CELL (Counter Terrorism Education Learning Lab) to bring Greg Dobbs (A Foreign Correspondent) to the school to do this presentation. The presentation was on 11/14/19. This is an example of the school using community partnerships to bring new information to students and staff. Presentations like this are great for getting information that is not a part of a normal education and can increase the understanding of global issues.

Notes:

-The wall in Israel has cut back on suicide attacks.

-Terrorists all look different.
    ~general instability in a society helps lead to terrorism.

-Iran openly supports terrorism.

-North Korea is known for producing suitcase sized nuclear bombs.

Even though a lot of these panels are advertised to students, it is important for the staff at the school to go when they can because learning for educators should never stop. There could always be new information even if they are familiar with the topic. In this case for me it was a learning experience because I got to learn about Greg Dobbs perspective on the subject matter. Even though I had heard his name before I was not that familiar with him.
