Next week on Thursday, March 27th, we will have a special class with Human Rights Activist and Kean University Senior Fellow John Prendergast:
"How Apple and Students Can Help End the World’s Deadliest War"
11:00-1:15 Academic Affairs Talk with Students and Faculty STEM 6th Floor
This talk connects the dots between our demand for consumer electronics and the deadliest war in the world since the Holocaust. It turns out the minerals that are used to power our cell phones and laptops originate in part from the Congo, where armed groups vie for control of those minerals. A major consumer movement has emerged that is changing the equation for Apple, Intel and the U.S. government, which in turn is having an impact in the war zones of the Congo.
**Please note that this event starts earlier than our usual class time slot, and takes place on the 6th floor of the STEM building. Please make every effort to arrive on time if possible. For those of you who are booked until 12:30pm, please attend and just do your best to enter quietly.
In addition, here is a link to a video about John's latest book "Unlikely Brothers".
