SUBJECT:

September 11th Eighth Anniversary Commemoration

September 11, 2009 will be the eighth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack. In honor of this solemn day in our nation’s history, UC San Diego will mark the anniversary by placing a wreath at the base of the 9/11 commemorative tree on Warren Mall at 7:30 a.m., where it will remain until sunset. John Will, chair of the UC San Diego Veterans Association, will represent the campus in placing the wreath.

Ringing of the carillon throughout the campus at 12:15 p.m. will initiate a moment of silence. Scott Paulson of Geisel Library’s Art Library has composed a special carillon peal for the occasion.

Members of the campus community are encouraged to pay their respects throughout the day with their own personal expressions of respect and appreciation.
