An event to honor and remember was held at Southern Connecticut State University. 

The university held its Paws and Reflect 9/11 Remembrance event on Wednesday for the second year in a row. 

Sgt. Cynthia Torres with SCSU’s police department was the organizer of the event. 

Sgt. Torres shared she was on the job on Sept. 11, 2001. She said she wants to make sure people remember the importance of the day. 

“I wanted to make certain that we honor the day and that we keep it sort of in the forefront of the narrative for both our students and our community,” Torres said.

The event also included a yoga session with the university’s K-9 facility dog team. 

“We thought on this day where there’s a lot of raw emotions, we’d have people come together in yoga and practice and meditation,” said Torres.
