Studies Program at the University of Pittsburgh, we protest the executive order
issued by President Trump denying entry into the United States for the next 90
days to citizens of seven Muslim countries: Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya,
Somalia and Yemen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

of the denial of entry into the United States to Jewish refugees fleeing
Hitler, and are outraged that fellow human beings, refugees from Syria who are
fleeing war and death, are not being welcomed here. The offense to the lessons
of history is intensified by the fact that President Trump signed these
executive orders on Holocaust Remembrance Day, the anniversary of the
liberation of Auschwitz. We are shocked by proposals of a future religious
test for entry into the United States. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

As the
Chancellor of our University recently stated, “Our
country was founded by individuals escaping from persecution based on their
religion. Our government was founded on a belief that ‘all men are created
equal.’ We are a nation of immigrants whose history was enriched by the waves
of immigrants crossing onto our shores. Similarly, the University of Pittsburgh
is built on a foundation of values that rejects discrimination and embraces
diversity as essential to the tasks of education and discovery. Our
University's remarkable success story has been written by individuals who came
from all over the world—by men and women who shared all types of religious
beliefs. They came to Pittsburgh to learn, to teach, to discover, and to serve.
Without question, we are a better university because of them.”<o:p></o:p></div>

order and some of the additional proposals to severely restrict the movement of
people on the basis of religion and national origin threaten not only human
decency but the scholarly enterprise itself. Such actions make research and
collaboration abroad more difficult and impede collaboration with academic
researchers in other countries. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
VIENNA 1900 (GER 1528) in the Spring at Pitt...<br />
Where? 142 Cathedral of Learning When? Tu, Th 11:00 AM – 12:15 PM<br />
Looking at major political and cultural changes in one of the most fascinating cities of Europe, this multimedia course tells the tale of Vienna 1900, a flamboyant cultural center of Europe, where creativity was flourishing in literature, music, the arts, philosophy, mathematics, mechanical engineering, the social sciences, and medicine.<br />
This course investigates the parallels between Vienna and other European capitals such as Paris, Berlin, and London at the turn of the last century, introducing students to the multifaceted European in its relation to the present time. It gives special attention to the radical changes in different disciplines from literature, music, and the arts to philosophy,<br />
psychoanalysis, mathematics, mechanical engineering, and social sciences. Ger 1528 fulfills one general-education requirement–Foreign Culture/Int. (Reg.)–and also counts towards the West<br />
European Studies certificate. The course will be taught in English. Prerequisite(s): none.<br />
Credit for German majors wishing to read texts in German.

perspectives about Jewish art, philosophy and culture in as wide a scope as
possible. It supports great, complex and bold ideas. It champions artists and
art making. It believes art has the power to build communities, and it promotes
interfaith and intergenerational explorations. Programs and exhibits are
organized to include all members of the community regardless of religious
affiliation. Because the museum is in a highly trafficked area within the JCC
and is open to the public more than 90 hours a week, it attracts a wide
audience and offers unparalleled educational opportunities. The objective of
the AJM internship is to offer experience to individuals interested in
participating in museum-related activities that delve into the connective
tissue between Judaism, arts and culture, contemporary society and Pittsburgh’s
distinct Jewish narrative. The internship is designed to expose young
professionals to the principles of research, exhibition preparation, and museum
management, giving interns practical experience.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
