A small group of Whitman community members met on the south steps of Memorial to honor of the victims and families of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. The event, which was hosted by the Muslim Student Associate began the vigil singing a verse of John Lennon's "Imagine." After, students discussed their memories of the day and the subsequent days after. Many students indicated that though years pass and vivid memories of the day fade, annual vigils allow them to mourn and reflect on the day.
The Office of Religious and Spiritual Life will hold a two-part event to commemorate the ten-year anniversary of the September 11 attacks this Sunday. The events will strive for religious understanding and reflection on 9/11 through an interfaith worship service and later a public forum.
