“We plan to display artist canvases as ‘reflection panels’ where students, faculty, staff and administrators can share their experiences and memories regarding Sept. 11,” said Tiffany Allison, UT Tyler SGA president. “These panels will be displayed all week and also kept to be displayed at future 9/11 events.”
The UT Tyler Robert R. Muntz Library also will hold its annual September Project, which will highlight special reading materials and documentaries focusing on Sept. 11 that week.
The September Project is a grassroots effort to encourage events about freedom and democracy in all libraries worldwide during the month.
