Students, teachers, faculty and staff were invited to observe moments of silence between at 8:46 a.m., 9:03 a.m., 9:37 a.m. and 10:03 a.m. The tribute was also marked by the Kutztown University Pipe Band at 10:15-10:30 a.m.
In addition, Rohrbach Library featured a display highlighting the remarks, including a 9/11 World Trade Center Twin Towers model. There is also a 9/11 mural, painted by a KU alum, on display on the second floor of the McFarland Student Union.
