The service will honor the 270 people, including Syracuse University study abroad students, who were killed when Pan Am Flight 103 was destroyed by a terrorist bomb over Lockerbie, Scotland, on that date and at that time 35 years ago. Chaplains will offer prayers and reflections. The event will also be offered virtually; registration is required to receive the Zoom webinar link.
Personal reflections and memories, which can be submitted upon registration, may be included in the ceremony. Closed captioning will be provided.
Requests for additional accommodations can be made by contacting Hendricks Chapel at chapelevents@syr.edu.
This service is offered in partnership with the Remembrance and Lockerbie Scholars, Hendricks Chapel, and the Office of Alumni Engagement.
