Welcome to the Jérôme Lohez 9/11 Scholarship Foundation.

The Jérôme Lohez 9/11 Scholarship Foundation is the only charitable organization established after the 9/11 tragedy that is dedicated specifically to promoting educational and cultural exchange among the U.S., France and China. By providing scholarship awards to multinational graduate students, enabling them to study in one another’s homelands, the Foundation aims to shape the next generation of global citizen, along with a new class of international policy makers. The Foundation also seeks to develop a pool of highly-trained multicultural business leaders to serve as innovators in multinational commerce.

The foundation was launched in November 2005 in honor of Jérôme Robert Lohez, a French citizen who died in the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

亲爱的朋友们:

其实文化的前沿是不需要划分国界的。一些人通常只以习俗和信仰的不同来区分不同的文化,但是他们忽略了幸福与人的本质在所有文化当中的相同点。令我感到惊讶的是,这种误解会对国际间的误会产生推波助澜的作用。

尽管今天的工程技术和计算机科学使得人们轻松的逾越国界去沟通,但我们还是没有一种科技可以处理这些由文化差异性所带来的障碍。为此,我们应当鼓励年年轻人去不同的国家旅游,学习和生活。

当人们不在自己熟悉的环境当中,当他们踏上异域的土壤并生活在那里,他们会发现很多陌生人有着与他们一样的感情和兴趣。如果没有竭尽所能的去了解外面的世界,我们的人生就会失去其应有的存在感。

每一项新的科学发现,都伴随着探索和创新性的想法。我们基金会的目的就是让学生们成为创新者,为他们提供机会去发现科学技术以及多元文化当中新的事物,并作为其创新思想交流与沟通的平台。

我们基金会的成立是为了纪念一位在911事件中逝去的国际友人—杰罗姆. 洛汉斯(Jérôme Lohez),他来自自由的国度—法兰西,他信奉着人本主义,他是一位杰出的工程师。该基金会的顺利成立也是一些私人慈善组织努力的成果。

谢谢!

吴德宁
