Today, Ball State remembers September 11, 2001 with special commemoration events. In fact, the University has put together events that lasted all week long. Beginning last week with a blood drive sponsored by Staff Council. Student Voluntary Services (SVS) hosted various service projects around the Muncie community yesterday. Along with Staff Council, SVS also collected items to make care packages for military troops as part of Operation Gratitude.
This evening, a commemorative service was held on campus, with a special guest speaker. Michelle Rosado actually survived the attacks on 9/11 and presented her inspirational story at BSU. The Chamber Choir sang “Prayer of the Children” and ROTC presented the flag. The Student Government Association hosted an “I Remember” poster for students to reflect on where they were that fateful day; the poster was on display at the service tonight.
Immediately following the commemorative service was a procession to Shafer Tower. There was a special candle lighting service, along with a moment of silence followed by the tolling of the Carillon Bells. It was truly a moment to reflect and remember the events of that day 10 years ago.
