Students, faculty, and community members joined on Monday, Sept. 11, to remember those who died and those who survived the terrorist attacks.
The criminal justice department helped pay tribute by hosting a "Moment of Silence," outside the technical building. The Criminal Justice Department has been hosting the event every year since Sept. 11, 2001 and has had a good turn out every year.
"We (CJ majors) have hosted this event ever since the terrorist attacks," Ta Epsilon Lambda, (TEL), Vice President Venessa Mordh, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, said.
Along with the criminal justice squad were students discussing what they were doing when they heard about the attacks.
"I was sitting in P.E. and the principal came in and pulled me out of class," Amanda Murphy, Scott City, Kan., said. "He told me my uncle was in the Pentagon and no one had heard from him. Come to find out there was trouble with him getting on his flight, so he missed his plane and was still at home," she said.
Most community college students will remember what class they were in, what they were doing or whom they were talking to when they heard the news.
"I was in my high school biology class getting ready to dissect a frog," Becka Delingee, Garden City, said
Along with students remembering what they were doing, students also made certain they remembered the heroes that helped in regaining security and safety after Sept. 11.
"We [CJ majors] are in the department of safety, so there is an important reason why we are paying tribute to the heroes of Sept.," TEL Secretary Vanessa Nightengale, Ingalls, Kan., said.
