On this and every day, Penn State Berks is remembering the lives lost on September 11, 2001. The world forever changed — including how buildings are engineered. Today, engineering professor Kathleen Hauser discussed the attacks and how it has affected our lives in big and small ways over the last 25 years.

Please join us for:
"9/11 - Reflections from a Structural Engineer 25 Years Later."

The World Trade Center was both an architectural and structural marvel. Join Professor Hauser, professional architectural engineer, as she reflects on the complex, the design and construction of the Twin Towers, the tragedies, why they stood, and why they fell. Please feel free to bring your lunch to enjoy.
