9/11 remembrance
Students and others in the community gathered around the campanile last Sunday to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the United States. Nearly 3,000 people died when hijackers crashed two planes into New York City's World Trade Center, a third into the Pentagon and a fourth in a rural Pennsylvania field.
After remarks by several state and local officials and shared remembrances of 9/11 from students, the community processed around the central campus green. Thousands of small flags in the ground honored those who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001.
