Twenty-five years after the attacks of September 11, 2001, students placed a wreath at the University’s 9/11 Memorial plaque, located beside a grove of six trees behind Keohane Quad honoring the six Duke alumni who lost their lives in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C.

The wreath has been laid at the memorial each year since the attacks, carrying forward a tradition of remembrance and honoring the Duke lives forever connected to that day.

A hot day in Durham doesn't feel the same for everyone and neither does the air we breathe.

Duke researchers are working with residents across Durham to better understand what people experience inside and outside their homes, and how those conditions can affect their health. What they learn could help identify where communities need more support as heat and air quality continue to change.
