On September 11, B´ÎÔª students, faculty and staff gathered to remember those we lost on that tragic day 24 years ago and honor the courage that emerged from this unimaginable tragedy. Student athletes from all 10 teams gathered at the Tim and Lee Hall Pavilion in the Westchester Campus at 8 am to begin a commemorative procession to Mercy field, planting flags along the way.
Once in the field, they congregated in the center of the field to honor the first responders who ran toward danger, the health care workers who served without pause, and the community members who opened their hearts and homes. The ceremony ended with a moment of silence with the flag flying at half-mast.
In addition to the Westchester Campus ceremony, Mercy held the 9/11 remembrance ceremony at the former World Trade Center site, now the 9/11 Memorial, on the TV screens in the Westchester and Manhattan campuses, and hosted tribute brunches in the Bronx and Manhattan campuses.
