Everyone might need a little help with directions sometimes!

At the beginning of every school year, we have plenty of students stop and ask us for directions to a building or classroom.

This time, it was Leonardo the turtle who needed a some assistance finding his way.

Shoutout to Amber Adams that called and kept LEO-nardo safe!

Look who we saw today!

We attended the Passport to Student Success Resource Fair today with the numerous departments on campus!

It was a great opportunity to meet new students and help them get acquainted with the departments, services, and resources available across campus!

Today, we honor these heroes alongside the 441 first responders who gave their lives that day, and we remember all 2,977 lives lost on September 11, 2001.

Their stories this week represent only a small part of the courage and bravery shown that morning, but each reminds us of the people behind the badges, helmets, uniforms, and names.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to honor their service, their sacrifice, and their memory.

Duty

Day 7 — Captain Patrick “Paddy” Brown

FDNY Captain Patrick “Paddy” Brown was one of the department’s most experienced and decorated firefighters.
On September 11, Brown and the members of Ladder 3 entered the North Tower and began climbing.

They knew what was happening around them. They knew the danger was growing.
They kept going.

One of Brown’s final radio transmissions said it all:
“This is 3 truck and we’re still heading up.”
Captain Brown and 10 other members of Ladder 3 were killed when the North Tower collapsed.

7 Heroes. 7 Days.
Courage

Day 6 — Police Officer Ramon Suarez

NYPD Officer Ramon Suarez spent the morning of September 11 helping people escape from the World Trade Center.
At one point, Suarez and another officer came across a woman who could no longer walk. Together, they carried her out of the North Tower and got her to safety.

For Suarez, that could have been the moment to stay outside.
Instead, he went back in.
Officer Suarez was killed when the North Tower collapsed.

His story is a reminder that courage is not the absence of fear. It is making the decision to go back when you already understand exactly what is at risk.

Years later, his daughter Jillian followed in his footsteps and became an NYPD officer, carrying forward the legacy of service her father left behind.

7 Heroes. 7 Days.
Resolve

Day 5 — Battalion Chief Orio Palmer

FDNY Battalion Chief Orio Palmer was known as one of the department’s most knowledgeable firefighters. He was also an accomplished athlete, something that would matter greatly on September 11.

After reaching the 41st floor of the South Tower by elevator, Palmer climbed another 37 flights of stairs carrying roughly 50 pounds of equipment, eventually reaching the devastated 78th-floor sky lobby.

Few first responders made it that high.
From there, Palmer radioed that firefighters had reached the fires and believed they could begin attacking them. His team also freed civilians trapped in an elevator shortly before the tower collapsed.

His story gives us a perspective that is sometimes lost when we look at photographs of the towers from the outside.
Inside, they were still climbing, still searching, and still trying to save people.

That was Battalion Cheif Orio Palmer’s resolve.
