PHILADELPHIA – The reflections of a faculty panel and a large-scale collaborative art sculpture are among the events planned on Sept. 11 at the University of Pennsylvania as the campus community marks the first anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and the plane crash in Pennsylvania.

The daylong program, "9.11.02: Remembrance, Reflection, Community," will also honor the 16 Penn alumni who lost their lives that day a year ago. A memorial wall in Houston Hall will feature a space dedicated to their memory.

Judith Rodin, Penn's president, will preside over the faculty panel, "Reflections on September 11," at 4 p.m. in Irvine Auditorium. The panel will feature Michael Eric Dyson, School of Arts and Sciences; Afaf Meleis, dean of the School of Nursing; Harvey Rubin, School of Medicine; David Rudovsky, School of Law; and Jeremy Siegel, Wharton School. The panelists will offer thoughts on the tragedy from the perspectives of their disciplines and personal experiences. Members of the audience will also have the opportunity to offer their thoughts.

Led by artist Sasha Bergmann Lichtenstein, the Hope Project invites the participants to express their thoughts through a gesture of peace, solidarity and collaboration that will be decorated and transformed into a large-scale wall sculpture. The project will be held at noon on College Green.

The day will begin in Houston Hall at 6:30 a.m. with a community breakfast, silent vigil and unveiling of the memorial wall that participants may sign. At the exact moments of the attacks one year ago – 8:48, 9:05, 9:43 and 10 a.m. – the bells of local churches will chime.

Houston Hall will also be the site of humanitarian and service activities, including a blood drive scheduled from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

At noon there will be an interfaith service at Philadelphia Cathedral, 38th and Chestnut streets; a spiritual reflections gathering, sponsored by the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Dunlop Auditorium; and performing arts groups on College Green. These will include poetry readings and music in addition to the Hope Project.

An organ concert will be presented by Joan Lippincott at 3 p.m. in Irvine Auditorium's Main Hall, followed at 4 o'clock by the panel discussion.

The day will conclude with Wharton's program of reflection at 6 p.m. in Lehman Quad, followed by a University interfaith vigil on College Green at 7 p.m.
