Located in a central and busy pedestrian through way on the campus of Carnegie Mellon University, the memorial consists of a small plaque, elevated from the ground at about 15 inches high, and located in front of a small tree. The tree was planted in October 2001, and the plaque was unveiled during a ceremony on the first year anniversary, on September 11, 2002. On the plaque, the names of the university's alumni that perished are inscribed, along with a poem by Jim Daniels, professor of English.

Date of Dedication: 09/11/2002 Name of organization that built the memorial: Carnegie Mellon Alumni Private or Public Monument?: Private Text on the memorial: in Remembrance US, NOW We move through heavy days, wading through the river of routine, carrying on, because we must. While evil shrinks to its dense core, we grow into a family of open hands. In every room, we search for one to clasp, one to kiss, embrace of us. We mourn. We bow our heads to find our real voices, to refuse the columns of names and make each name its own list of one. Now we look over the flat lawns, carefully tended, smooth as dreams in which we survive one more day. We remember the earth has been broken. We plant a tree. Here it rises without a sound. Here we stop and listen.
