Worcester State University will hold a wreath-laying ceremony on the university campus on Saturday, September 11, to mark the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The outdoor event will start at 8:45 a.m. at the September 11, 2001 Robin Kaplan ’90 Memorial Park, adjacent to the Binienda Green near the Wellness Center.
