Students Honor 9/11 Through Volunteering
In the days after Sept. 11, 2001, thousands poured into Ground Zero to lend their hands in one of the largest recovery efforts in American history. Now, 12 years later, colleges are finding ways to channel the same__29__ into service projects in their own communities on September 11th.
"9/11 is such an__30__ touchstone for our country, I think people want to find ways to do something, and students as well," says Kevin Kruger, president of the student affairs group. "The idea of giving something back to the __31__ ties in well to the emotional significance of that."
Though no corner of the country was untouched by the terrorist attacks, they especially rocked New York University on 9/11. Less than two miles from Ground Zero, students__32__ the plane-on-tower impact from their dorm rooms. The university coordinated shelters and counseling in the days afterward.
Because of this, NYU public affairs director Philip Lentz says the volunteer work the students do this week has a "special relevance." Students today__33__ at a rescue mission, wrote cards for soldiers and veterans and made donations for the families of victims and first responders on 9/11.
"NYU feels it has a special __34__ to offer this service opportunity to students that are here so they can give back to the community that was so devastated by the attacks," Lentz says.
Similar deeds have been taking place in George Washington University in Washington, D.C. "For the past five years at GW, freshmen have boarded buses immediately after their official welcome __35__ in early September to head for the nation's financial capital and volunteer in__36__ that aid the environment, education, veterans and community organizations," says Amy Cohen, the university's director for civic engagement and public service.
"We hope that students will learn that community __37__ is part of how we build strong communities and a vibrant __38__ society," Cohen wrote in an e-mail to USA TODAY. "We ask students to reflect on the tragedy of 9/11 and to use this day as a way to show civic engagement and community building."
