There’s a lot that has changed. The buildings have been renovated and the students dress differently. But many things have stayed the same: frst parties, students orgs, people running around on the diag... it’s the future now, but the University’s character really isn’t that different.” SMTD sophomore Jaime Murriel WOLVE RINE OF THE WE E K of that.” Powell began the event by talking about his upbringing in the South Bronx, and specifically how growing up in a diverse area formed the basis of his respect for others. This sentiment was similarly expressed in his opinions regarding diplomacy, and how it is necessary to keep an open dialogue with other nations to solve problems. Rep Debbie Dingell (D-Mich) also received a shout out from Powell. Prior to the event, she spoke in an interview about how much she admired him. “I have known Colin Powell for decades,” she said. “Alma is one of my best friends. I think he is truly the epitome of what a public servant is. He loves this country and he is really just a good man and I am excited that he is in my hometown of Ann Arbor.” Throughout the event, Powel emphasized the importance of continued investment in technology in ensuring the U.S.’s status as a top nation. “We are a technological nation, and we cannot lose the advantage that we have over other nations,” Powell said. “It is important that if our nation wants to stay on top, we have to continue investing in technology.” Powell also expressed his disappointment regarding the country’s race relations. In response to the recent racially charged incidents which have taken place on the University’s campus, Powell offered a message of strength and support for minority students. “I think the college administration and the student bodies have to push back against this kind of thing. But don’t let one nut with a spray paint can destroy the community that exists in the University. There will always be folks like this — I’ve faced them throughout my life,” Powell said. “My own attitude has been, you can call me anything you want, but watch me, I’m going to do my job. I’ve always felt that those who’d like to look down on me because I’m Black or because I’m an immigrant or because I didn’t go to the right school — that’s their problem. I’m not going to let it become mine.” He also encouraged people not to let the racist actions diminish the University’s overall reputation. “We should push back with all the pressure we can against those who feel this way and believe these things, but we can’t do it by destroying the school or by having actions that are not in good order — or discipline, as we would say in the military — and if it’s one or two people, don’t let them turn upside down a university of 40,000,” he said. LSA senior Daniel Wu also shared Winter’s feelings and talked about his excitement to learn from Powell. “I like going to events where there are famous people coming to campus,” he said. “I love attending events on campus because there are so many interesting things happening and you just learn a lot. I love when famous people come to campus because they’re really interesting people with interesting stories.” Powell ended his conversation with Gallimore by stressing the importance of taking care of one another and understanding the responsibility that each individual has both to others and to the country. “Kindness is something you can give away, and you’ll never understand the impact that you had on another,” Powell said.
