Patriot Day (9/11) Remembrance, Reflection, and Service

September 09, 2024

Patriot Day is a United States National Day of Observance that honors those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. In observance of Patriot Day, Ball State University will toll the carillon bells in Shafer Tower from 9:15 a.m. to 9:25 a.m. on Wednesday, September 11. Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to use this time to pause and reflect on the events of that day in remembrance of those who were lost. 

In addition to tolling of the bells, the University honors the sacrifice of those who died by joining other in service to our community. Student Voluntary Services (SVS) is partnering with Muncie Clean and Beautiful to host the 9/11 Day of Service.

Students will be helping alongside community members with the annual White River Clean-Up.
