NC State's first 9/11 Memorial Ceremony and Run is held on Stafford Commons to honor those who lost their lives due to the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. American flags formed a pentagon which surrounded the two towers and the numbers nine and three, which commemorated all of those on United Airlines Flight 93 who died in the attacks. Christopher Caporali, a senior studying meteorology, hoped this event would "inspire change in how we respond to acts of terrorism as a Pack, as a Raleigh community and as a country." Caporali, several on-campus organizations and local Raleigh fire and police departments gathered Saturday morning to celebrate the resilience of the American people 15 years later.
