Kelly Rodoski, SU Director of News Services
Syracuse University is planning a series of events during the fall 2013 semester that will mark the 25th anniversary of Pan Am 103. A University-wide committee has been formed and includes SU faculty, staff and students; former Remembrance Scholars and a Lockerbie Scholar, a representative from the Pan Am 103 families and representatives from the cohort of students who studied in London during the fall 1988 semester.
The mission of the committee in planning commemorative activities is to use the past to shape the future—to remember the 270 lives lost, and in their honor, to shape the future through scholarship and action. Activities are being planned that will honor those we lost, educate about how we have moved forward, and complement activities that will take place in Washington, D.C. and Lockerbie on December 21.
Among the commemorative activities planned so far:
A comprehensive website with remembrance stories, oral histories and details on all planned events will launch in August and will be accessible through the Syracuse University home page, www.syr.edu.
