Former CBS News correspondent Wyatt Andrews, a media studies professor of practice at UVA, recounts his experiences on 9/11 and the importance of a shared set of facts in a national crisis.
The memory of alumnus Patrick Sean Murphy, who died in the attacks on the World Trade Center, lives on through his children – and a scholarship created for UVA students affected by 9/11.
Alumnus Dan Friedman lost his father, Andrew, at the World Trade Center. Andrew’s legacy lives on through his twin sons and their company, founded to give back to other 9/11 families.
It happened when they were very young, but these students still see the influence of 9/11 on their lives, from their hometowns and families to their career choices today.
