GREENEVILLE<\/strong> \u2013 Community members are invited to join Tusculum University<\/a> faculty, staff and students for an upcoming dedication of a Rotary International Peace Pole on campus.<\/p>\n

\"Dr.

Dr. Scott Hummel<\/p><\/div>\n

The ceremony will take place Tuesday, Sept. 23, at 1 p.m. in front of the Scott M. Niswonger Commons, where the peace pole will be installed. State Rep. David Hawk, R-Greeneville; Alan Corley, the City of Tusculum\u2019s mayor; members of the Rotary Club of Greeneville<\/a>; and a group of children from Doak Elementary School will participate.<\/p>\n

In addition, the event will feature some of Tusculum\u2019s international students speaking in their native languages. Tusculum has students from 38 countries and experienced an increase of about 40 international students this semester compared to a year ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe welcome the opportunity to promote peace by housing this pole in a prominent place on campus,\u201d said Dr. Scott Hummel, the university\u2019s president and a Rotary Club member. \u201cThe placement of peace poles has become a wonderful form of outreach by the Rotary Club, and we are pleased we are able to join hands in this endeavor. We are also excited to highlight our international students and the way they enrich the Tusculum family and the surrounding community.\u201d<\/p>\n

A\u00a0peace pole\u00a0is a monument that displays the message “May Peace Prevail on Earth.\u201d The pole has eight languages \u2013 English, Spanish, Mandarin, Swahili, Bengali, Ukrainian, Arabic and Hebrew. The languages on the pole advance Rotary\u2019s goal of building a culture of peace throughout the world.<\/p>\n

At the ceremony, numerous international students will read the message in their own language. Dr. Hummel said these additional languages will add to the chorus proclaiming peace.<\/p>\n

More than 250,000 peace poles exist in the world and are located in every country.<\/p>\n

The late Masahisa Goi of Japan drafted the message about peace prevailing on earth after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II. He was the founder of May Peace Prevail on Earth International.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope people who know about the pole and see it will be inspired to lead a life that highlights the value of peace,\u201d said Brandon Farmer, president of the Rotary Club of Greeneville. \u201cOur club is enthused to partner with Tusculum to spread this essential message, which is applicable in all corners of the world. We encourage everyone to attend this ceremony and give voice to the importance of peace.\u201d<\/p>\n
