University of Pittsburgh; A Citizen of the World Retires
"After a 54-year career at Pitt, E. Maxine Bruhns announced her
retirement earlier this month as director of the Nationality Rooms and
Intercultural Exchange Programs at age 96.
Born in West Virginia in 1924, Bruhns is considered at Pitt as a “citizen of the world”—growing the Nationality Rooms into
a collection of 31 mini-museums representing the immigrant populations
of Pittsburgh and their contributions to the city. Today, the rooms are
collectively designated a historical landmark by the Pittsburgh History
and Landmarks Foundation.
“The Nationality Rooms are, and will forever be, linked to the identity
of the city of Pittsburgh. Maxine has been absolutely instrumental in
this achievement,” said Ariel C. Armony, vice provost for global affairs
and director of the University Center for International Studies (UCIS), which houses the Nationality Rooms. “This is her legacy.”"
Issues and developments related to ethics, information, and technologies, examined in the ethics and intellectual property graduate courses I teach at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information. My Bloomsbury book "Ethics, Information, and Technology" will be published in Summer 2025. Kip Currier, PhD, JD
