30 September 2004 Dear Friends, I Am Delighted to Convey My Best 30 September 2004 Dear Friends, I am delighted to convey my best wishes to the many friends and supporters of the United Nations who have gathered tonight. It is a special honour to join in paying tribute to this year's honorees ~ Oprah Winfrey, Joan Ganz Cooney and Peter G. Peterson -- all of whom have, in their own way, contributed so much to the lives of human beings around the world. Oprah Winfrey's talent and empathy have not only brought joy and solace to millions of viewers and readers. Her generosity and constructive commitment to education, women's empowerment and health — including the global fight against HIV/AIDS - have given many people the chance of a better future. Joan Ganz Cooney has literally transformed the way educational media can be used to translate the open-mindedness and optimism of children into a vision of global peace. After all, no one can reach children with a message of tolerance and understanding more effectively than our incomparable friends on Sesame Street. And few can match the wisdom and vision that Peter G. Peterson has brought to bear on a lifetime's work in politics and policy, public service, business and writing. From fiscal policy to the future of philanthropy to the ageing of our planet's population, Pete has advanced and enriched our understanding immeasurably. Oprah, Joan and Pete, please accept my warmest congratulations on the awards you are receiving tonight. They are richly deserved. And, as ever, special thanks to UNA-USA and all its members for supporting so steadfastly the work and ideals of the United Nations. I wish you all a wonderful evening. r' 6 '••''-' \ Kofi A.

Both are good Mends of the United Nations, and arc playing leading roles in global efforts to stem and reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS. Henry McKinnell has understood the need for corporations such as Pfizer to commit themselves to good corporate citizenship and the Global Compact, and to work closely and creatively with governments, civil society and the United Nations family, for example by adopting AIDS policies in the workplace. Dr. Alex Godwin Coutinbo's AIDS Support Organization has displayed remarkable dynamism and helped Uganda become a model of effective action on AIDS, giving hope to countries just noiv coming to grips with the crisis. Their contributions are especially timely, since die latest report card on AIDS offers a (mixed picture: while there have been important gains in commitment and funding, (here is still too little meaningful action to meet the goals set out in the "Declaratiott of Commitment" adopted two years ago by the United Nations General Assembly. We will continue looking to them both to help keep AIDS a( the top of the political and practical agenda, nationally and globally. My late friend and colleague Sergio Vieira de Mello richly deserves the posthumous recognition you are bestowing on him. People throughout the world — from Cambodia to the Congo, from Mozambique to East Timor, and of course, today in Iraq — will remember him as one of the world's great humanitarian heroes, a tireless servant of peace -who was there to help them in their hour of greatest need, to relieve human suffering and to champion human rights. I (e and those with him in Baghdad were taken from us, and fiom the people they were working to assist, by a savage and senseless act. We at the United Nations will never forget bis brtlUance, his energy, his devotion to his staff and his loyalty to (lie ideals of the Charter. These arc difficult limes for the United Nations and our quest for collective answers to ccmtnon problems and challenges. As we move ahead in our global mission of peace and development, the Organization will continue to dt*w strength from the support of ihc United Nations Association of the United States of America and the Business Council for the United Nations. Thank you for cverytliing you do to help the United Nations achieve its goals, In that spirit of partnership, please accept my best wishes for a memorable evening, Youre sincerely,.

In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power to that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared.” – J. K. Rowling “We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry.” – Maria Mitchell “Knowledge once gained casts a light beyond its own immediate boundaries.” – John Tyndall “As to Bell's talking telegraph, it only creates interest in scientific circles... its commercial values will be limited.” – Elisha Gray “One of the problems with posing a 'bold new plan' is that you can't just extrapolate from previous plans.” – Nathan Myhrvold VIDEO(S) OF THE WEEK Our Favorite Fictional Female Scientists Science Goes to the Movies Computer

As part of a university- developed 3D Printing 4 Teaching & Learning project, teachers integrated 3D modeling and printing into curriculum topics in world geography, U.S. history, and government/civics. Multiple sets of data were collected documenting classroom implementation of 3D technology. Seven key insights emerged: Teachers and students initially found it challenging to imagine ways to use 3D printed physical objects to represent social science concepts; students found 3D printing projects were a positive, self-fulfilling way to show their ideas about history topics; teachers and students found the 3D modeling program difficult to use; 3D modeling and printing altered the teacher-as-expert/student-as-novice relationship; 3D modeling and printing changed how teaching and learning happened in history/social studies classrooms; partnering with content and technical experts was an important element of success; and some teachers shifted their thinking about the value of using 3D printing in history/social studies classes. These insights can help facilitate the integration of 3D technologies in history/social studies classrooms.

I am the co-director with my colleague, Emiliana Vegas, of the Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institution. It is a real pleasure to be with you today and host a conversation around gender equality. This event is called “How to be a Feminist Dad” and there is never a more important moment to talk about gender equality and particularly the role of men in the movement of gender equality, in the U.S. in particular, than now. 4.5 million women have left the workforce because of the pandemic, and we know that women do, on average, two hours of work, housework, more, and care work, more than men, at home, even when they are either equally breadwinners or the sole breadwinner, and it’s just -- and the pandemic has been incredibly hard, as we also know, on single parents and single moms, in particular.

  • Chief Executive Officer Search
    CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER SEARCH 1 Canal Street • PO Box 335 • Seneca Falls, NY 13148 • womenofthehall.org • (315) 568-8060 T HE S EA RC H The Board of Directors of the National Women’s Hall of Fame invites applications and nominations of highly experienced, energetic, and creative candidates for the position of Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Candidates should be attracted to the opportunity to provide highly transformative leadership for the nation’s premier institution honoring exceptional American women who embody the National Women’s Hall of Fame mission of “Showcasing great women . Inspiring all”. The National Women’s Hall of Fame (NWHF/the Hall) is expanding in every way – in size, in reach, in influence. To better accommodate these ambitions, the NWHF rehabilitated the historic 1844 Seneca Knitting Mill located on the Seneca-Cayuga branch of the Erie Canal in Seneca Falls, NY, and moved into it in 2020. This extraordinary achievement was completed over nine years with 10 million dollars of funding. The NWHF is eager to embrace the opportunities enabled by this new, expansive space, including honoring the importance and sense of “place” that Seneca Falls and the Erie Canal system have played in the history of the economic, social, and human rights movements of the United States of America. Following this historic move, in this historic year celebrating the centennial of women’s suffrage, the National Women’s Hall of Fame now seeks a talented, proven leader dedicated to expanding the Hall’s national footprint, advancing its fundraising capacity, strengthening its organizational structure, and planning and implementing an ambitious agenda of new programs and exhibits.
