On Wednesday, September 11, 2002, William Paterson University invites its entire campus community to join together for a "Remembrance Day" gathering to offer reflections on last year’s tragedies. The event will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. in Science 200A.

The program will include remarks by University President Arnold Speert and a series of readings addressing the unsung heroes of 9/11. Students, faculty and staff are invited to participate in an open mike session that follows. David Demsey, coordinator of the jazz studies program, will open the program with a performance of the "Star Spangled Banner" on saxophone. The University’s Gospel Choir and jazz students will also provide musical accompaniment.

Prior to this event, the Catholic Campus Ministry at William Paterson will conduct an Ecumenical Service for the campus community and public. The service will be held at 12:30 p.m. at the Jesus Christ Prince of Peace Chapel located on Pompton Road, North Haledon.
