The SMC Associated Students has organized a memorial for the entire college community. From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sept. 11 at the Clocktower, SMC students and employees are invited to sign a banner that says, “We Will Never Forget — Remembering Sept. 11, 2001.” The banner will be sent to New York where a group of such banners will be collected and displayed.
At 10:28 a.m. — the time when the second of the two World Trade towers collapsed — an SMC student will play “Taps” and a moment of silence will be observed. This also will be held at the Clocktower.
On Thursday, Sept. 12, the Associated Students will hold a remembrance ceremony featuring speakers and poetry readings. This will be held at 11:15 a.m. at the Clocktower.
The Santa Monica Bay (Westside) Interfaith Council is currently holding “11 Days of Reflection and Remembrance” at houses of worship throughout the west-side. It will culminate with a Sunrise Interfaith Service at 6:45 a.m. and a community observance at 7 p.m. on Sept. 11, both at the Santa Monica Pier.
For more information on these observances, contact the Interfaith Council at (310) 394-1518 or
