September 11th Memorial Event

On September 11, 2002, Las Positas College held a one-year anniversary memorial service to honor those who lost their lives at the World Trade Center Twin Towers in New York City.  

Ron Johansen, Coordinator of the LPC Fire Service Technology program, worked with President Karen Halliday to chair the event.  He was assisted by Fire Service Technology faculty and students in the construction of a memorial display on campus.

The following photos offer a representation of the day's events:
