I join our University and our nation in remembering the lives lost on September 11, 2001. Twenty-five years later, we continue to honor the bravery of first responders, the sacrifices of countless individuals and the enduring resilience of the American spirit. As we remember those we lost, may we also reflect on the values of service, unity and hope that continue to guide us forward. We will never forget.
