NEW PALTZ -- The State University of New York at New Paltz will hold an hour-long remembrance ceremony beginning at 9:30 p.m., Sept. 11, on the Student Union Building (SUB) concourse to reflect upon the lives lost in the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001.
The agenda for the ceremony includes opening remarks by both Steven G. Poskanzer, president of New Paltz, and Jennifer Fox, student activities manager. In addition, Voices of Unity Gospel Choir will perform a selection of music.
