Joseph S. Nye Jr., PhD, University Distinguished Service Professor and former dean of the Kennedy School of Government of Harvard University, will present a lecture entitled “American Power in the 21st Century” on Monday, March 31 in the Grupp Fireside Lounge at 7 p.m. Nye’s lecture, which is free and open the public, is presented by The William H. Fitzpatrick Chair of Political Science Lecture Series.
Nye is an international relations expert with both government and academic experience. A 2008 poll of 2,700 international relations scholars listed him as the most influential scholar on American foreign policy, and a 2011 poll rated him the fourth most influential scholar in international relations in the past 20 years. During the Clinton administration, he chaired the National Intelligence Council (1993-94) and was assistant secretary of defense for international security (1994-95).
Nye has published 13 academic books, a novel, and more than 150 articles in professional and policy journals. His most recent books include Soft Power, based on the concept of the same name he developed, The Powers to Lead and The Future of Power, which The Economist called “rigorous and convincing.”

Greetings from the Residence Hall and Undergraduate Student Associations! We are hosting a new event on campus, which we hope will become an annual success. The new RHA and USA Easter Sit-Down Dinner will take place on Thursday, April 3 in the Student Center Economou Dining Hall. Seating will rotate continuously from 4:45 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
In keeping with the tradition of RHA’s annual Thanksgiving Sit-Down Dinner, we are asking Canisius College faculty, staff and administrators to assist us in serving this Easter dinner to students. Even an hour of your time would be a tremendous help and greatly appreciated.
We believe this event, can have the same effect that Thanksgiving Sit-Down Dinner has by bringing our Canisius family closer together by uniting staff and students for a festive Easter dinner.
If you are interested in serving dinner, please contact Angela Graves via e-mail at graves4@my.canisius.edu by Tuesday, April 1, 2014 with the hours you would be able to attend so that we can prepare a list of volunteers.
As a token of our appreciation, immediately following the Easter Sit-Down Dinner, each volunteer will immediately be served dinner by members of the Residence Hall and Undergraduate Student Associations.
On behalf of the students of Canisius, we hope that you will choose to participate and help to make this new event successful, exciting and fun.
We appreciate your consideration and hope to hear from you soon!
Sincerely,
The 2013-2014 Easter Sit-Down Dinner Committee
