<BR>
The threat of war remains on the Korean peninsula. This November 6, the Alliance of Scholars Concerned about Korea (ASCK) will be sponsoring Korea Peace Day on campuses around the world to emphasize the importance of a peaceful resolution of the current conflict.<BR>
<BR>
Many campuses are already participating, including Arizona State University, Columbia University, Cornell University, George Washington University, Lewis and Clark College, UCLA, the University of Michigan, the University of Washington, the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and Vassar College. Several campuses in the UK, Australia, and South Korea are also planning to participate.<BR>
<BR>
In order for Korea Peace Day to have the greatest possible effect, we are urging our colleagues to sponsor events on as many campuses as possible. Please consider holding a teach-in, panel discussion, film presentation, or informal discussion group on the topic of the current crisis on the Korean peninsula. To help organizers, we will be providing web-based resources such as a bibliography, a list of useful film resources and websites, and a list upon request<BR>
of potential speakers in your area.<BR>
<BR>
Please visit the Korea Peace Day page on our website at www.asck.org. To add your campus to the growing list of participating institutions, send us an email at peaceday@asck.org.<BR>
<BR>
Sincerely,<BR>
<BR>
