On September 9, 2002, the MIT program in Science, Technology, and Society (STS)held the first in a week-long series of events marking the inaugural anniversary of 9/11.The goal was to stimulate "personal reflection and remembrance" of the tragedy and itsaftermath among members of the MIT administration, faculty, students, and staff. Inher welcoming address to those assembled in Killian Hall for a colloquium titled, "MITin a Dangerous World," historian and director of the STS program Rosalind Williamsshared her hope that, by "the end of this week, MIT's motto of 'Mind and Hand' willsomewhat be modified to remind us all that it's mind, hand, and heart that have to worktogether."3 The point of the colloquium, she explained, was to broadly consider MIT'ssocial and moral responsibilities in a new era of global conflict.
