Initiatives, services and resources

• The Towers Lost and Beyond - A collection of newly-available essays on the World Trade Center by MIT researchers. Sept. 10, 2003
  
  
• MIT Homeland and Global Security web site
  MIT has a long and distinguished history of national service, and continues to contribute to the nation's safety. To respond to the latest challenges posed by homeland security, President Vest convened an interdisciplinary committee to assess how our institutional assets and capabilities can be applied to these challenges. From those findings came the genesis for this site—designed to provide a conduit for communication about research, education, people, and events. Site launched Sept. 11, 2002
  
  
• Alumni web forum
  During the month of October, 2001, alumni were invited to contribute their thoughts and feelings about the Sept. 11 tragedy and its aftermath to "A Time to Share," a special collaborative edition of "What Matters," the alumni opinion column published on the web by the Alumni Association.
  
  
• Alumni Are-You-Okay bulletin board.
  For over two months after the terrorist attacks, alumni who might have been affected by the September 11 attacks were invited to leave a message on the Alumni Association's "Are-You-Okay" bulletin board to let the community know they were all right.
  
  
• Reflecting Wall at MIT -- next to the MIT Chapel.
  In response to the tragic loss of lives in New York, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania, and in the spirit of the student-initiated 'paper memorial' in Lobby 10, MIT built and dedicated The Reflecting Wall at MIT, which recalls the structure of the World Trade Center. This is a specially designed temporary space where people may pause to reflect and leave messages, flowers, or other symbolic remembrances.
   
• Reconstructions -- An online resource and study guide developed by the Comparative Media Studies Program, designed to spark discussions and reflections about the media's role in covering the events of 11 September 2001 and their aftermath.
  
  
• Community Expressions -- A secure web-based discussion form intended to support continued dialogue on the events of Sept. 11. The site, established by the Center for Reflective Community Practice and the Committee on Campus Race Relations, is solely for MIT students, faculty and staff.
  
  
• Diversity and community programming- - The Committee on Campus Race Relations has funding available for programs or activities that enhance community understanding among the diverse ethnic and religious groups on MIT's campus. Grant applications (which will be handled immediately) are available on the CCRR grants page.
  
  
• Additional resources available - MIT counseling and support.
