    Remembrance Week  

 

The mission of the Remembrance Scholars is to educate the campus community about terrorism by relating Syracuse University’s Pam Am Flight 103 experience to more current events. Though education, we honor and remember all 270 lost in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, especially our 35 students.
