"In Reflection"

On Friday September 14, 2001, The Rockefeller University gathered to reflect on the September 11 tragedy.

Caspary Event Offers Time to Reflect

Three days after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, President Levine invited all Rockefeller University faculty, students and staff to attend a special program entitled "In Reflection."

"We felt it was important to give the Rockefeller community an opportunity to reflect upon the tragic events of this past week" says Levine about the Fri., Sept. 14, special program, attended by hundreds of students, faculty and staff who gathered in Caspary Auditorium to seek solace in each other’s company and in music.

Levine spoke briefly about the enormous efforts Rockefeller people had made to aid each other and the city during a week of tragedy. He then turned the stage over to Professor Seth Darst, who performed Ravel and Schubert at the piano.

Levine closed by reading a Tennyson poem that a graduate student had sent him, noting that she had found it comforting during the tragedy. Following "In Reflection" the first of the 2001-2002 Tri-institutional Noon Recitals, featuring the Claremont Trio, was dedicated to the families who suffered during the recent tragedy.
