Students to host 9/11 vigil on Homewood
campus
Several undergraduate student groups on the Homewood
campus will present a Hopkins 9/11 Memorial Vigil at 7
p.m., on Sunday, Sept. 11. The event honoring the victims
of the 2001 terror attacks will take place on the Keyser
Quadrangle.
The vigil will feature two towers of light,
representing the World Trade Center towers in New York
City, and a moment of silence followed by the lighting of
hundreds of candles on the flag-draped quad. Elected
officials as well as representatives from Operation Tribute
to Freedom, the Krieger School of Arts and
Sciences and the
Bunting Meyerhoff Interfaith and Community Service
Center
are scheduled to speak.
The event is co-sponsored by the Foundation for the
Defense of Democracies,
College Republicans,
College
Democrats, the Milton S. Eisenhower
Symposium, the
Foreign Affairs Symposium, JHU Student Council,
the Office of Student Life, Skytech Lighting and the
HSA Programming
Collaboration Committee.
"The collective memory of 9/11 unites us all," said
event organizer Marc Goldwein, a junior and a Foundation
for the Defense of Democracies fellow. "We were brought
together in tragedy, and now we must remember the victims
of this terrible act and honor the heroes of that grave
day."
The students will be collecting canned goods for care
packages for troops overseas. For more information, contact
Goldwein at 610-574-8004, or marc@goldwein.net.
