🚌 We’re hitting the road — and you’re invited! Statue of Liberty Road Trip • Saturday, Oct. 25 (No membership required)
Hello Langley World Affairs Club,
I met your founder and President Ryan Minton and was introduced to your club when he took my class, Global Business and Technology Trends (ECON S-1561), at Harvard during the summer of 2025. He sat in the front row—a habit I hope all of you consider as well, since I believe it makes a real difference in the engagement between student and professor.
During the school year, I will offer Ryan selections of my writings—and therefore my thinking—to post here for your consideration. My hope is simply that you encounter perspectives you may not have already considered. Ryan tells me the motto of your club is, "Join the club, explore the world." In this declaration, I offer a small piece of my world to explore. May your future be bright and prosperous.
Sincerely,
Bruno S. Sergi, Ph.D.
