Join us at the National Veterans Resource Center as the Syracuse University community marks the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001.

The program opens with remarks from Dean David M. Van Slyke of the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, followed by a panel discussion featuring Chris Meek ’92 B.A. (Econ/PSc)/’18 E.M.P.A, founder and CEO of the 9.11 Legacy Foundation and executive producer of the documentary film "The Heroism and Resiliency of 9/11." Meek will be joined by a panel including Dean of the Newhouse School of Public Communications Mark Lodato, who reported from the Pentagon on 9/11, and Maxwell professors Renée de Nevers and Robert Murrett, who will share their professional perspectives as well as help us all reflect on the enduring legacy of the first responders, survivors and everyday citizens who showed extraordinary courage in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

The panel will be followed by a free screening of the documentary film "The Heroism and Resiliency of 9/11," narrated by actor Gary Sinise. The film goes beyond the tragedy of September 11 to showcase the incredible acts of bravery, humanity and resilience that followed. An excellent way to honor the 25th anniversary, join us to screen this documentary that has received dozens of awards at film festivals around the world, including in New York, London, San Antonio and others.

This event is being supported in part by the Louis A. Bantle Chair in Business and Government Policy, and is free and open to the public. All members of the University and greater Syracuse community are welcome. Panel 4-5 p.m.; film screening 5-7 p.m. Attendees are welcome to join for any portion.
