From QC President James L. Muyskens:
As we approach the tenth anniversary of the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, the Queens College community is preparing several events to commemorate that tragic time.
On Wednesday, September 7 during free hour (12:15-1:30 pm), the college will hold a memorial service on the Quad near Klapper Circle. The service will include several speakers and a performance by the Aaron Copland School of Music Brass Ensemble. The Quad will be decorated with over 3000 American flags provided by the Student Association. In case of rain, the service will be held on the fourth floor of the Student Union.
On Wednesday, September 21 during free hour, the Asian/American Center will sponsor a forum featuring the Asian Literary Journal's special issue on the tenth anniversary of 9/11. This event will be held in the Campbell Dome.
Finally, during September the Queens College Media Center will have several films about 9/11 available for viewing, including Caught in the Crossfire: Arab Americans in Wartime, Fahrenheit 9/11, House of Saud, and Meeting Osama Bin Laden. For more information on these and other films, go to http://qcpages.qc.edu/library/information/news.php#911.
I hope you will take advantage of these events and resources as our nation reflects on a tragic time in our recent history.
