Today marks the 17th anniversary of 9/11. Members of the campus community came together this morning for a 9/11 Remembrance Gathering in the VWU Peace Garden. Let us never forget.
Thank you to our students for their contributions in making this a special event: Yaminah Lewis '21 and Thomas Reinhold '20 for their moving performance of "America the Beautiful", Andre Wiggins '20 for his reading of the Gettysburg Address, and Nicole Johnson '19 who shared powerful quotes of 9/11. I also thank Provost Timothy O’Rourke for his remarks, Chaplain Greg West for leading us in prayer and the Litany for Peace in Our Communities, and Associate Director of the Center for the Study of Religious Freedom (CSRF) Kelly Jackson for her remarks and call to action.
