9/11 Flags of Remembrance at Kutztown University
September 11, 2026 · 8:00 AM · Kutztown University — Alumni Plaza, 15219 Kutztown Rd.
About the event
Kutztown University marks the anniversary of September 11, 2001, with a morning of flags and reflection at Alumni Plaza, the fountain courtyard at the center of campus. Flags are set out in remembrance of those lost at the World Trade Center, at the Pentagon, and in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, and the plaza stays open through the morning for anyone who wants to walk through quietly.
The morning follows the timeline of the day itself. Moments of silence are observed at 8:46, 9:03, 9:37 and 10:03 a.m., guest speakers address those gathered at 10:15 a.m., and the Kutztown Pipe Band and a First Responder Tribute follow at 11 a.m. Carnations are part of the pipe band tribute.
Additional 9/11 memorial displays are set up at Old Main, at the Alumni Remembrance Tree, and in the McFarland Student Union, so visitors can continue on foot after the plaza program. Borough residents, students, veterans, and local first responders all gather for this one, and it suits anyone looking for a quiet way to observe the date close to home.
Hosted by Kutztown Borough on BerksConnect.
