The anniversary of the 9/11 attacks is a time to reflect, honor, and unite in solidarity. On this day, we remember those who were lost, recognize all who survived, honor the sacrifices of the first responders and recovery workers, and recapture the spirit of unity and service that arose in the immediate aftermath of the attacks. On September 11, 2020, the University will host several events. UConn Public Safety will host a remembrance ceremony at the UConn Public Safety Complex, 126 N. Eagleville Road beginning at 8:30 am. The University Carillon at Storrs Congregational Church will ring at 8:46 am in honor of the time the North Tower was hit. Throughout the day, The Student Union will host the Field of Flags on Fairfield Way and will additionally, display four wreaths in the Student Union, to recognize the lives lost on four downed planes. To conclude the day of remembrance, UConn Recreation will illuminate the Student Recreation Center in the colors of the American flag.
