Remembering 911
A collaboration between The Office of Military Affairs and Randall Library, we invite you to take a moment to read, reflect, and interact with this exhibit as we honor and remember the lives lost on this day. These reflections were written by UNCW students immediately after the events of 9/11. A year later, the notebook was brought out for students to reflect on the past year. Interact by commenting, liking, or sharing the link with other UNCW students and staff.
