In honor of the 20th anniversary
of the Sept. 11 attacks, Queens College
will continue its annual commemoration
with a campus ceremony. This
year, it will include the reading of the
names of 40 college alumni, faculty
and other community members who
lost their lives that day.
The outdoor ceremony will take
place on Friday, Sept. 10, at 8:30 a.m.
next to the school’s Benjamin S.
Rosenthal Library or in the Godwin-
Ternbach Museum in case of inclement
weather. It will be hosted by QC
President Frank H. Wu, school administrators
and invited guests.
QC will also honor its responding
FDNY Engine House 315/Ladder 25
for its service to the school.
Students, alumni and faculty from
the college’s Aaron Copland School
of Music will perform “America the
Beautiful” and “Fanfare for the Common
Man.” Bells in the library’s
Chaney-Goodman-Schwerner Clocktower
will toll at 8:46 a.m. and 9:03
a.m. to mark when the towers were
struck and at 9:59 a.m. and 10:28 a.m.
when they collapsed.
Since 2002, the college has held
an annual campus ceremony to commemorate
those who lost their lives in
the attacks.
To better commemorate the 20th
anniversary, the school also created
“Remember This: A 9/11 20-Year Anniversary
Memorial” at the Godwin-
Ternback Museum. The exhibition
features six oversized images that
were part of the design proposal for
Tribute in Light, which involved two
beams of light projected into the sky
near Ground Zero. Visitors can come
see the memorial from now through
Friday, Dec. 17.
During COVID-19, all visitors
must be approved prior to accessing
the campus. Visit qc.cuny.edu to
