The Place of Remembrance
A centerpiece on the Syracuse University campus, the Place of Remembrance was dedicated on April 22, 1990. The Remembrance Wall, a semicircular structure which resides behind the Gateway to Campus, includes the names of the 35 Syracuse students who died on Pan Am Flight 103. Each year, the Syracuse community gathers at this memorial during Remembrance Week for a candlelight vigil and the rose-laying ceremony.
Remembrance Scholars
The Remembrance Scholarship, one of the highest awards at Syracuse University, was established in memory of the 35 students lost. This scholarship is awarded to 35 seniors, chosen for distinguished scholarship, citizenship and service to the community. Remembrance Scholars each represent victims of the bombing, with a goal of reflecting and moving forward in their memory.
