Discussion | “Securing New York and the Nation” with Former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge

Thursday, September 24, 2009, 8:30 am to 10:00 am

Free

This discussion will feature a keynote by Tom Ridge, former Secretary, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and will be followed by a conversation with Bob Kerrey, president of the college and member of the 9/11 Commission. Formed in response to the September 11th attacks, the Department of Homeland Security was given the gargantuan task of protecting the entire nation.

Ridge, author of The Test of Our Times: America Under Siege...And How We Can Be Safe Again will discuss the creation of the department, its early history and his time as its first secretary. He will speak about the agency’s successes and failures and provide recommendations for its future on issues including the federal threat-level alert system, immigration reform and reorganization of DHS along regional lines — all with a particular focus on the unique security needs of New York.
