The University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s longstanding tradition of remembering Sept. 11 through service is providing a foundation for a month of expanded service opportunities surrounding the 25th anniversary of the attacks.
Andrew Brown, assistant director of community engagement in the Student Leadership, Involvement and Community Engagement Office, identified an opportunity to bring several of Nebraska’s existing Sept. 11 traditions together through a $10,000 grant from 9/11 Day and AmeriCorps.
The grant proposal incorporates the university’s annual Memorial Stadium stair climb, flag remembrance and Engage Lincoln volunteer opportunities, while also making possible new service projects.
