CONSORTIUM OF EUROPEAN
COUNTRIES TOPIC OF TCU
SEMINAR COURSE FALL SEMESTER
All students and members of the community are invited to attend the upcoming World Studies Seminar series on "Doing Business in the New Europe."  Michael Garrison, professor of business at NDSU, and other presenters will introduce and explore the cultures and histories of several European economies for the course being offered this fall semester 2001.
World Studies Seminars rotate from campus to campus each semester. They are unique in that they promise to feature at least one lecturer from each Tri-College campus, as well as draw information from among local and regional experts.
"Doing Business in the New Europe" is being offered for either 2 or 3 credits. The full 3-credit course, specifically designed for NDSU business majors but available to anyone, will meet once each week for the entire semester (beginning August 29). That option is listed as Business 499 in the NDSU schedules. Garrison has structured the 2-credit option (.5 credits for Concordia students) for any non-business majors or interested community members. Students enrolled in the 2-credit option (University Studies 499) will begin meeting on the second week of classes (September 5), and will finish on November 7. Community members or students not wishing to earn credit are welcome to attend single classes or the entire series. Both sections of the course will meet Wednesdays, 6-8:30 p.m., in South Engineering, room 116, at NDSU.
Garrison’s interdisciplinary class will introduce students to the complex social structures and economies that have evolved in Europe in the past few decades.
As with all World Studies Seminar courses, "Doing Business in the New Europe" will draw upon the expertise and experiences of not only academics but also business professionals. Guest lecturers each week will provide students with an understanding of the economic, political, historical, legal, and cultural contexts for engaging in business in the developed countries of western Europe and the emerging economies of eastern Europe
"Doing Business in the New Europe" is classified as both University Studies 499 (2-credit option) and Business 499 (3-credit option) at NDSU. NDSU students follow normal registration procedures. Concordia and MSUM students interested in registering for the course should do so through the Tri-College registrars on their home campuses. Any students or community members who are interested in the seminar course but who do not wish to enroll for credit are welcome to attend a single session or the entire series.
For more information about the course or registration procedures, contact Michael Garrison, course coordinator (231-7509);. Andrew Conteh, chair of the TCU World Studies Committee (236-4009); or the Tri-College University office (231-9731).

CONTEH PARTICIPATES IN
FREETOWN CONFERENCE
Andrew Conteh, political science, participated in the "Freetown Conference on Accountability Mechanisms for Violations of International Humanitarian Law in Sierra Leone" February 20?23. The conference was organized by the No Peace without Justice Organization, with contributions of the government of Canada, the European Union and the Open Society Institute.
The aim of the conference was to stimulate debate within and outside of Sierra Leone about accountability processes in Sierra Leone for the violations of the laws and customs of war during the civil war which has plagued the country since 1991. Following lengthy and sometimes heated debates, the Conference produced a series of concrete recommendations on a number of technical issues common to all accountability processes, such as:
* documentation of violations;
* how to ensure that the accountability process is visible and transparent to the general public;
* what are the conditions for a Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and what are those for criminal prosecution to be successful and how to decide which should go through the TRC and which should be prosecuted;
* measures for witness protection;
* staffing and administration of the TRC and the Special Court;
* financing;
* selection of commissioners and judges; and penalties.
On February 23 Andrew gave a lecture to faculty and students at the University of Sierra Leone on "Modern International Human Rights Law and International Humanitarian Law."

$700,000 GRANT AWARDED FOR TRI-COLLEGE UNIVERSITY’S RED RIVER BASIN INSTITUTE
The Otto Bremer Foundation recently awarded a 3-year $700,000 grant to Tri-College University in support of the Red River of the North Flood Resilience Project. This grant, the largest ever received by Tri-College University, will be carried out through the newly-established Red River Basin Institute, which includes both the Center for Watershed Education and the Center for Flood Damage Reduction and Natural Resource Studies. Grant funds will support the establishment of an infra-structure for the Institute, plus initial activities within the Center for Watershed Education, of which Dr. Theodore May, assistant professor of teacher education at NDSU, is the director.
Institute leaders will design initiatives to complement other recent basin-wide efforts undertaken to address the abundant flood-related losses throughout the Red River of the North watershed. May, the lead grant author, states "while we must design immediate response mechanisms to floods as they come, we must also develop our capacity to reduce the negative impacts of future floods."
TCU Board of Directors member and former North Dakota governor George Sinner was a key player in the International Flood Mitigation Initiative (IFMI) group that met for two years to propose and initiate several regional flood-related projects. In association with the Institute of Floodplain Architecture at the University of Manitoba and the Print Media Partnership at the University of North Dakota, the TCU Red River Basin Institute will provide professional guidance to the other initiatives. Sinner said, "It is important that we continue to educate the people of this region about the fact that we live in an established floodplain." He added, "the research that will take place and the findings that are obtained will be important for the long-term benefit of the basin inhabitants."  The IFMI group also helped to establish on-going communication among the governors of Minnesota and North Dakota and the premier of Manitoba regarding floodplain matters.
The TCU Red River Basin Institute will initiate a broad-based collaborative program to oversee major flood mitigation projects by integrating and coordinating existing efforts and complementing these with a long-range program that fosters sustainable communities within the Red River of the North basin. An important mission of the Institute is to coordinate intra-basin research and education programs in order to reduce the negative consequences of future flooding events. According to Nathan Davis, TCU provost, "Tri-College University over the years has fostered programs and initiatives dealing with issues that directly effect the quality of lives of citizens in Fargo-Moorhead and in the Red River Valley. I am sure that Concordia College, Minnesota State University Moorhead, and North Dakota State University are very proud of this new joint initiative."
Bremer grant funds will specifically support the Center for Watershed Education’s following initiatives:
Coordinated basin-wide research and education activities
oDevelop a collaborative approach to research and education efforts among the many individuals and organizations involved in these efforts in the past decade, especially since the 1997 flood. The Center will coordinate regularly scheduled meetings of basin resource managers and educators.
Pre-K-adult formal and non-formal watershed education programs in selected communities
Develop watershed education programs that can become integral, on-going parts of school/community education initiatives. In the Red River basin, these educational programs will have significant flood mitigation components and richly involve adults so that entire communities can learn together. As the program advances, these education programs will help to develop a citizenry that makes wise choices linked to land management, recreational pursuits, and building locations and styles, and that supports wise basin-wide decisions that reduce potential damages from future flood events.
A broad-ranging and multi-faceted assessment program
oAll facets of this project will be closely monitored to guide program development and to expand support through clear and well-substantiated program outcomes.
For further information, contact Dr. Nathan Davis, 701-231-9731; Dr. Ted May, 701-231-7968; or Dr. Gerry Van Amburg, TCU Red River Basin Institute interim director 218-299-3794.

MISCELLANIA
* Patrick Coppens, speech/language/hearing sciences, has been invited by the Program Committee to present an extended three-hour seminar during the next national convention of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.

* Louis De Maio, speech/language/hearing sciences, presented on "Promoting Language Development in Children" on Saturday, March 3 at the Sam's Club ChildCare Workshop in Fargo.
* Earl Conteh-Morgan, professor of political science at the University of Florida in Tampa was gracious to chair and present on behalf of Andrew Conteh a paper on "State Succession in International Law" to the 42nd Annual International Studies Association convention held in Chicago February 20?24. Conteh's paper focused on basic doctrinal position; circumstances giving rise to succession; and different treatment of the various situations in positive law, depending on the cause and objects of succession. Conteh's absence was due to the fact that this year’s ISA Conference conflicted with the Freetown meeting on accountability for human rights violations during the 10-year civil war in Sierra Leone.
