The University of Richmond September 11th Memorial Walk.
Hosted by the Military Science & Leadership Program
Friday, September 11th
8:30 AM to 4:00 PM
Gumenick Quadrangle in front of Maryland Hall.
Join the University of Richmond community as we commemorate the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks during our annual September 11 Memorial Walk. Students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members are invited to participate at any time between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on Friday, September 11. For each lap completed around the Gummnick Quadrangle, participants are invited to place a star beside the name of one of the 2,977 victims lost on September 11, honoring one life with each lap walked. Whether you choose to walk one lap or many, your participation helps us fulfill our shared goal of ensuring that every victim is remembered and honored by the conclusion of the event. Together, we remember, reflect, and reaffirm our commitment to never forget.
