Monday, October 29, 2018, By Eileen Jevis

More than 70 volunteers took part in the Remembrance Tree Planting Project on South Campus on Friday, Oct. 26. Thirty-five trees were planted to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, on Dec. 21, 1988. Among the 270 men, women and children who died that day were 35 students studying abroad through Syracuse University. The tree planting is one of many commemorative activities.
