2014-15 Lockerbie Scholars Megan Noble and Will Beech honor the Lockerbie victims of the Pan Am 103 bombing during the 2014 Rose-Laying Ceremony at the Wall of Remembrance.

Syracuse University’s Remembrance Week 2015 will be held on campus Sunday, Oct. 25, through Saturday, Oct. 31. The weeklong series of events honors the 270 people, including 35 students studying abroad through Syracuse University, who lost their lives in the terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, on Dec. 21, 1988.

Each year, 35 Remembrance Scholarships—one for each of the 35 student victims—are awarded in the amount of $5,000 to undergraduate seniors representing a broad range of majors. The Remembrance Week events planned and hosted by the students are meant to honor the victims and further education about terrorism. Remembrance Week activities are all free and open to the public, unless otherwise noted.

All week
Pen-and-ink drawings of the 35 student victims, and photos of the “Dark Elegy” sculptures created by Suse Lowenstein, will be on display in the Panasci Lounge, located on the third floor of the Schine Student Center.

An exhibition of 35 empty chairs on the Kenneth A. Shaw Quad, an installation created by the 2012 Remembrance Scholars, juxtaposes the visual representation of 35 students lost with good deeds inscribed upon the chairs. The exhibition is meant to serve as a reminder of how a loss in the past can inspire positive actions in the present.

A “Wall of Hopes and Dreams” will be located in the Huntington Beard Crouse Hall plaza. All members of the University community are invited to add their dreams to the wall.

A Remembrance dove sculpture will be located in the atrium of the Whitman School of Management building. All are invited to add a memorial ribbon to the sculpture.

Remembrance Scholars will visit classes and various sporting events around the Syracuse University campus to educate fellow students about the tragedy.

The Hall of Languages will be lit in blue during Remembrance Week.
