Twenty-four years after 9/11, Northwestern alumnae are continuing a yearslong effort to create a memorial honoring those from NU who were killed. The monument will take the form of a rock with a plaque, designed to match the style of the University’s war memorials, and will be located in a memorial garden outside of Alice Millar Chapel. For Ulgur and Mason, the memorial is about remembering how their classmates lived, rather than the manner in which they died. Mason said she hopes the memorial resonates with current students, who are too young to remember the life-altering event themselves. “We were both feeling like our kids were becoming far enough removed that they were not really understanding the history of 9/11,” Mason said.
