The news sent students reaching for their cell phones, bowing their heads in prayer and pondering national security. Watching the live footage struck Emily Basford (sophomore-human develop- ment and family studies) on a personal level. “My brother is an American in the Peace Corps in Afghanistan, a country that doesn’t like America — a country that is surrounded by countries that don’t like America. “My other brother lives right across the street from the Pentagon in D.C. He can see the Pentagon from his apart- ment window,” she said. Kate McDannell (junior-hotel restau- rant and institutional management) said her morning class sat in silence for five minutes and shared discussion in the wake of the national disaster. “I’m stunned. I think there will be seri- ous ramifications,” she said. “I’m very concerned about what it means for retal- iation. This could very well be a changing day in history.” The magnitude of the attack drew comparisons to Pearl Harbor. Sue May- hue (senior-biobehavioral health) also thought immediately of the assassination of former President John F.
