High Point University has been honoring the anniversary of the tragic events of Sept. 11 for the past 14 years, and this year, the university was able to make the anniversary an extension of Service Week.
HPU took part in honoring the many victims of the attacks by holding moments of reflection around the Roberts Hall Reflection Pond at 8:46 a.m., 9:03 a.m., 9:37 a.m. and 10:07 a.m. to commemorate the times of each plane crash.
These four moments of reflection included a moment of silence, prayer, poem and thoughts from students and faculty, as well as a performance from the HPU Chamber Singers.
From sunrise to sunset on Sept. 11, all flags on campus were flown at half-staff in honor of this day.
