WORLD TRADE CENTER PRESIDENT TO VIDEOCONFERENCE WITH
M-DCPS STUDENTS VIA INTERNET
May 20, 2002
World Trade Centers Association (WCTA) President Guy Tozzoli
will videoconference with Miami-Dade County Public Schools
students via the Internet from 9-10:30 a.m. on Wednesday,
May 22 in room 337 of the School Board Administration
Building Annex, 1500 Biscayne Blvd.
The interactive WorldLink roundtable, titled Focusing On Our
Future: Peace and Stability Through World Trade, will be
held in observance of World Trade Week, May 20-24. It is
designed to help students focus on their future in world
trade and travel following the aftermath of the 9/11
tragedies. Students also will discuss how Miami is prepared
against terrorist threats to its infrastructure and business
community.
Tozzoli, a Nobel Prize nominee, was stuck in traffic on the
day of the tragedies and watched from his car as the second
of two airplanes struck New York City's World Trade Center.
Tozzoli was instrumental in building the complex and kept
offices there. As President of WTCA since its inception in
1970, Tozzoli has established more than 300 World Trade
Centers in nearly 100 countries worldwide.
WorldLink, now in its third year, continues to create
challenging distance learning programs on global issues and
concerns for future leaders. For more information, contact
