The Memorial Commemoration

Rain Location Change:
Student Activities Center Auditorium

We honor alumni and other members of the Stony Brook family who were lost on September 11, 2001. Their deaths strengthen our resolve as a University community to foster the most basic ideals of freedom and equality.

The service will be followed by a silent processional to the SAC Circle from the Memorial Grove. Vans will be available at the Hospital main entrance. Access to the Administration Garage is available to East Campus cardholders. The Interfaith Center and Hospital Chapel will be open for those seeking a quiet place for prayer, meditation, and reflection.

This event is open to students, community members and faculty and staff. For information, please contact Conferences & Special Events at 632-6320. Sponsored by the Alumni Association and the Interfaith Center.

Memorial Arch
The Arch, donated by the Stony Brook Alumni Association, honors the 21 Stony Brook alumni who were lost. Designed by Milton Glaser in collaboration with Nicholas Fasciano, the twelve-foot-high by eight-foot-wide arch is constructed of brass that will eventually change color to a soft verdigris.

Engraved down the sides of the arch are the names of those who were lost:

Joanne Ahladiotis; Jean A. Andrucki; Michael A. Bane; Carlton W. Bartels; William F. Burke Jr.; Michel P. Colbert; Stephen M. Fogel; Steven E. Furman; Richard S. Gabrielle; Kuifai (Raymond) Kwok; Edward J. Mardovich; Rudy Mastrocinque; Michael P. McDonnell; Manika Narula; Christopher M. Panatier; John W. Perry; Lisa J. Raines; Jonathan S. Ryan; Margaret M. (Walier) Seeliger; Peter A. Siracuse; and Walwyn W. Stuart Jr.

Van transportation for those from East Campus will depart from the front of University Hospital at 11:45 a.m. and return to the same location by 1:30 p.m. Contact Conferences & Special Events at 632-6320 to reserve a seat. Access to Admininistration Garage available to East Campus cardholders.
