This September marks the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy. It is an
event that has impacted all of us and shaped our lives in many ways. We
would like to use this occasion to stop and reflect on what has happened and
what it means. The Center for the History of Psychology (CHP) has planned
two very special events to commemorate the 10th anniversary of 9/11.



The first is a half-day public program, free and open to the public, titled
*Resilience and Remembrance: 9/11 Ten Years Later*. Speakers include experts
and first responders who will offer reflections and lessons learned from
those dark days 10 years ago. Later that day the Center will unveil a public
exhibition titled *Resilience and Remembrance: Reflections on War, Trauma
and Peace*. The exhibit will include artifacts and objects from Ground Zero
and will be complemented by materials from the holdings of the Center.
Included will be an oral history booth where visitors can record their
impressions and reactions to the events of 9/11. This powerful and moving
exhibit will be on public display until March 31, 2012.
