Chancellor's Statement - University Open

September 11, 2001 - 9 p.m.

  • The University is open Sept. 12. A regular class schedule will be followed.
  • About 4,000 people attended a candle-lit vigil by the Campus Pond the evening of Sept. 11. It was a special, emotional event. Hardly a sound could be heard. Afterwards many stayed, talking quietly in small groups. Remarks from the vigil will be posted on the Web Sept. 12.
  • A series of events is being planned over the next few days. Information will be sent periodically on the times and locations.
