Giuliani was invited to speak to graduates and their families because of his leadership in the wake of the terrorist attacks on New York in September 2001.
In the days following the Sept. 11 terror attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people in the collapse of the World Trade Center, Giuliani was lauded for his leadership. Former First Lady Nancy Reagan presented Giuliani with the Ronald Reagan Presidential Freedom Award. He also was knighted by the Queen of England and named Person of the Year by “Time” magazine. In 2002, he wrote and published, “Leadership,” which sold over 1 million copies worldwide.
In 2002 he founded Giuliani Partners, a consulting firm specializing in emergency preparedness, public safety, crisis management, energy, health care and investment banking.
