GASI History
The initial idea for our organization was first conceptualized by Dr. Chang S. Roh (Bloomsburg University) in 1990. Dr. Roh sought to create a global interdisciplinary organization that could overcome geographic and disciplinary boundaries to address emerging issues of globalization, build understanding of our increasingly interdependent "global village," and promote world peace. Soon after, Dr. Daniel B. Lee (Loyola University of Chicago) joined these efforts and the two formalized the name "Global Awareness Society International."
The organization was officially launched in 1991 with three additional founding members: Dr. James Huber of Bloomsburg University, Dr. Shah Megrabi of Montgomery College, and Dr. James Pomfret of Bloomsburg University. GASI went on to become an official non-profit organization, receiving 501(c)(3) status in the U.S. in 1992.
