"The Office of Alumni Relations has set up a discussion board to pass on information and to allow alumni to communicate with each other and share thoughts regarding this horrific event."

"Please go to the special page Rensselaer has set up at http://www.rpi.edu/web/Campus.News/sept_01/special_edition/ and click on the 'discussion board' link for access.
