Questionnaire 2003 (English) (Romanian)
Like all the groups of international students and/or
professionals, we want to better define our pluses and minuses. Much
has been said about the shortcomings of the psychology of the
Romanians; even more has been said (and written) about what makes us
unique, exquisite, amazing, different. During the fall
semester of 2003 the "Nicolae Iorga" Chair of Romanian Language and
Culture at Columbia sent a simple questionnaire to the members of our
Romanian Club, in order to see how they react to the eternal problem
of our identity in the contemporary world. |

 After 26-year hiatus Nicolae Iorga Visiting Professorship at Columbia is re-established
The President of Romania, EMIL CONSTANTINESCU, visits Columbia (SIPA records)
On June 10th, 1998, Romanian President Emil
Constantinescu visited Columbia University and
addressed an audience of 250 people in the Low
Rotunda. Hosted by Columbia President George
Rupp, Harriman Institute National Advisory
Council Chairman Ambassador Richard C.
Holbrooke, Dean of the School of International
Affairs Lisa Anderson, and East Central European
Center Director John S. Micgiel, the former
Rector of Bucharest University and Professor of
Geology spoke about Romania on the Threshold
of the New Millenium, his country's geopolitical
location, and the connection between academia
and politics. He also re-established the Nicolae
Iorga Visiting Professorship of Romanian Studies
at the East Central European Center after a
26-year hiatus. The professorship, named for the
esteemed Romanian historian, was established at
Columbia in 1971 in a cooperative agreement with
the University of Bucharest. Its renewal signals
the Romanian President's strong interest in
academic cooperation between his country and the
United States. The ceremonies in the Rotunda
included the presentation of a substantial collection
of Romanian books to the University library,
followed by a meeting with Professor Don
Melnick and the staff of the Center for
Environmental Research and Conservation, and a
tour of University facilities associated with
Nicolae Iorga.
