Centenary University in Hackettstown marked the 18^th anniversary of 9/11 with a renewed dedication to service on behalf of those who lost their lives in the terror attacks. Following a remembrance service with members of the Hackettstown American Legion presenting the colors, students created a one-day memorial in the quad outside the Edward W. Seay Building.

For each sign and flag placed on the lawn, a student pledged to participate in the following day’s National Day of Service in memory of a 9/11 victim. As part of the day of service, Centenary students will volunteer at three New Jersey sites: The South Branch Preserve Community Garden in Budd Lake, Liberty State Park in Jersey City, and the Jersey City Veterans Cemetery. Students in attendance also made cards thanking the area’s first responders for their service.
