Reflections on 9/11 -- One Year Later

A commemorative program to mark the anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks and remember those who lost their lives will be held at noon Wednesday, Sept. 11, in the Price Center Plaza at the University of California, San Diego. Chancellor Robert C. Dynes has invited all members of the UCSD community to attend the one-half hour program of reflections on 9/11 and, for those who wish to do so, remain for a religious/spiritual service led by Mark Padrez, director of the Office of Religious Affairs at UCSD. Representatives from a number of faiths will join him in the service from 12:35 to 1 p.m. A highlight of the commemoration program will be dedication by Dynes, Jenn Brown, Associated Student president, and Tom Fleming, Graduate Student Representative, of a plaque and white orchid shade tree which will be planted at the west end of Warren Mall. The plaque inscription reads: "Dedicated to the Victims of September 11, 2001. The UCSD Community Remembers. September 11, 2002."
