Variety of 9/11 events held this week: The theme of Emory’s 9/11 memorial activities is “Looking Back, Looking Forward.” A range of events, from lectures to spiritual services to service opportunities, has been planned this week. The centerpiece event will be a University Gathering held the evening of Sept. 11, 7 p.m. in Glenn Auditorium. Following the program in Glenn, a candlelight vigil—much like the one held last September—will take place on the Quadrangle. Click here or above for the full story. Photo by Ann Borden.
