Campus comes together again to remember 9/11
11 September 2002

A year after the Sept. 11 attacks against America, thousands of members of the campus community filled Sproul Plaza on Wednesday to mourn the victims and commemorate the heroes. Following a moment of silence for personal reflections, student leaders organized a program of speeches and music looking back to the tragedies of a year ago and examining how the nation and the campus have changed in the past 12 months.
