Press Release


FORMER HEAD OF RWANDAN PARLIAMENT TO SPEAK AT THIEL
For immediate release October 24, 2005

GREENVILLE, PA - Joseph Sebarenzi, former head of the Rwandan Parliament, will be a guest lecturer at Thiel College at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 8 in the Lutheran Heritage Room of the Howard Miller Student Center.

Sebarenzi, a native of Rwanda, endured great tragedy when both of his parents, his seven siblings, and countless other family members were killed during the Rwandan genocide of 1994. After being elected to the head of the Rwandan Parliament, he used his powerful position as a platform for peace and reconciliation in his war-torn country.

Now living in the United States, Sebarenzi teaches conflict resolution at the School for International Training and lectures around the world while writing his autobiography.
