UCO Honors 9/11 Victims with Various Activities Across Campus
Sept. 10, 2025
The University of Central Oklahoma invites the Edmond and Oklahoma City metro communities to join UCO students, faculty and staff in honoring the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The commemoration will begin with a stair run at 6 a.m., Sept. 11, at Chad Richison Stadium, followed by a flag-planting ceremony and reflection walk at 9 a.m., at the Clock Tower near Broncho Lake, both located on Central’s campus.
The stair run, hosted by the UCO Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) Broncho Battalion, will honor 9/11 first responders by climbing 110 flights of stairs—the same as those on the day of the attack.
Those who wish to attend the flag planting and reflection walk, which will begin at 9 a.m., will plant approximately 3,000 American flags in the ground around Broncho Lake in remembrance of those who lost their lives on 9/11.
The Central community will also participate in a service activity that provides meals to each of the five local Edmond fire stations.
For more information about the flag planting, remembrance walk and service activity, contact UCO Community Engagement at 405-974-3456 or volunteer@uco.edu.
