9/11 memorials

Many events around campus will mark tomorrow’s two year anniversary of the tragic terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. At 8:46 am, the time the first plane struck tower two of the World Trade Center, members of the ROTC will lower the flags around campus to half-staff. Also at 8:46, President Jackson and Vice President for Student Life Eddie Knowles will deliver remarks at the flagpole on 15th Street and Sage Avenue.

At noon, a campus wide moment of silence will be observed. A dinner reception will be held on the Hassan Quad at 4:30 pm, followed an hour later by a discussion panel entitled “Historic Memorials, Commemoration, and Remembrance” in Sage 3303. After introductory remarks from President Jackson, Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences John Harrington, Alan Balfour, dean of Architecture, and Professor Emeritus Michael Halloran will discuss memorials of the tragedy. University of California, Davis professor Carole Blair will also talk about plans for the World Trade Center site.
