Although our students may have no living memory of that day, the enduring impact of the attacks on 9\/11 continue to profoundly shape the lives of our students in ways they may not fully realize. The panel discussion at 10:00 a.m. aims to reveal this shaping by examining the generational impacts of the events which continue to resonate across our state, nation, and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Both programs are open to students, faculty, staff, and retirees. Counseling resources will also be available.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>Previous Speakers in the Presidential Speaker Series<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>April 20, 2026: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/president\/presidential-speaker-series-hackthefuture\/\">Jen Easterly<\/a><\/li>\n<li>March 9, 2026:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/president\/presidential-speaker-series-don-la-greca-92\/\"> Don La Greca &#8217;92<\/a><\/li>\n<li>November 10, 2025:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/president\/presidential-speaker-series-nadja-west\/\"> LTG (ret.)
