MAHWAH, N.J. – Ramapo College students, staff and faculty gathered at the Arch to reflect on the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

Joseph Barbato, full-time student and president of the Veterans Student Organization (VSO) on campus, said, “The events of September 11 impacted all Americans. Sixteen years later, we remember.”

Ramapo President Peter P. Mercer invited all to observe a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m., the time of the first attack on the World Trade Center in New York City. Members of the College’s Student Government Association, VSO, First Responders Club, Leaders in Service and College staff placed an estimated 2,900 small flags in the campus Grove to represent each of the lives lost during the attacks.
