September 11, 2001 — 25 Years of Remembrance
We remember our Villanova University alumni who were lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the lives of all those who were taken too soon. Twenty-five years later, their memories remain part of the Villanova community and continue to inspire reflection, compassion, and a commitment to remembering. We hold their families, friends, and loved ones in our thoughts as we pause to honor their lives and legacy.
"The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; For you are with me; Your rod and your staff, they comfort me."
- Psalm 23

The Center for the Common Good, in partnership with the Center for Peace and Justice Education, will offer a panel discussion for the University community on Friday, September 11, 2026, from 1:30-3:00 pm in the Villanova Room of the Connelly Center. Twenty-five years after September 11, 2001, the global impact of 9/11 continues to shape nations, communities, and generations. This panel brings together five voices with perspectives from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the United States to examine the lasting effects and challenges that emerged from the attacks and the profound global shifts that followed. The panelists will reflect on how 9/11 reshaped our world and consider its enduring legacy and implications for the future.
