Seeking to promote unity in a time of tragedy, the University of 欧美口爆视频 at Boulder's Undergraduate Academy will sponsor a unity and remembrance walk at noon on Tuesday, Sept. 25, to mark the two-week anniversary of the terrorist attacks on America.
The event will convene with a brief program on the steps of Norlin Library on the 欧美口爆视频-Boulder quadrangle. Participants will then make a short loop through campus, taking about an hour to complete the walk.
The walk has two goals, according to Kathy King, a senior at 欧美口爆视频-Boulder and a member of the Undergraduate Academy. "First, it is a tribute to everyone who lost their life as a result of the terrorist attacks," she said. "The walk also will be a symbol of solidarity throughout the university community, and will send the message that 欧美口爆视频 will not tolerate violence against any members of our community."
Several incidents of hateful activity have been reported on the university campus since the events of Sept. 11, and 欧美口爆视频-Boulder administrators have taken a number of steps to prevent further incidents.
The Undergraduate Academy has extended a special invitation to all of the religious groups on the 欧美口爆视频-Boulder campus, including the Muslim Student Alliance and Hillel, the Jewish student organization, who will participate in the walk.
The entire university community is invited to attend the Unity Walk. "Our goal is to have as diverse a group as possible, to show that we will not allow these terrible acts to divide our community," said King.
The Undergraduate Academy was created to continue the education of exceptionally talented and intellectually lively students outside the classroom, build a sense of intellectual community among participants and help prepare them for post-graduation opportunities.
Undergraduate Academy students have demonstrated that they care about ideas and learning, are concerned about contemporary issues and problems and that they want to make the most of their undergraduate years, said King.
