NYU 9/11 Global Day of Service & Remembrance
This content requires the Macromedia Flash Player. Get Flash Player
Through Service We Remember & Honor
The events of 9/11 and the subsequent aftermath have significantly impacted individuals and communities on a local and global scale, the members of the NYU community included. Just as we came together on 9/11 in the spirit of service and reflection, NYU seeks to commemorate the event’s global impact through a series of service programs involving our New York City campus as well as global sites around the world, under the theme “We Stand Together.”
Service projects will meet the direct needs of the communities, and reflections will incorporate local cultural traditions. Volunteers across the globe will be united by wearing identical t-shirts during the service activity, the design of which models the shirts used by NYU volunteers who served in numerous capacities during 9/11. The back of the shirt will read “We stand together” in multiple languages from across the globe. The shirt will serve as a symbol of solidarity as a global community, as well as a tool of commemoration for those who lost their lives during 9/11 and served during that tragic time.
