Fight against terrorism*
CU expresses its deepest, most heartfelt sympathies to those who have lost friends and loved
ones in the World Trade Center and Pentagon and Pennsylvania attacks. Some of us at CU
have friends who are still missing as of the publication of this page. We are constantly
praying for the well-being of the unaccounted for and the safety of all those who have made it
through the recent events. We are saddened by those terrible tragedies.
We offer our sympathies and condolences to the victims and their families.
We hope you find the following phone numbers and links useful.

Terrorism WebQuest
Students: "You have just been handed a copy of a speech
by the director of the FBI. It contains the bureau's
latest summary of the threats to U.S. national security.
As advisers to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence,
your team has the job of analyzing all aspects of terrorism,
both at home and abroad, and providing concise summations
in the form of threat assessments." A hands-on WebQuest
for middle- and high-school students written by David
MacDonald, a teacher at Fillmore Middle School, CA.
World Trade Center Facts
In 1970, construction began on New York's World Trade
Center. Architect Minoru Yamasaki studied more than 100
plans before settling on the twin-tower development,
each 110 floors rising 1,353 feet into the sky. They
were the tallest skyscrapers in the world, containing
nine million square feet of office space that, as one
writer put it, "[made] the adjacent drama of Manhattan
seem timid in comparison." Connect to this site to learn
all about these amazing structures that once held anyone
and anything connected with world trade.
Helping Children and Adolescents Cope with Violence and Disasters
Although this fact sheet was originally written to help
children deal with the trauma of school shootings, its
mission is applicable to last week's terrorist attacks:
"To tell what is known about the impact of violence and
disasters on children and suggest steps to minimize
long-term emotional harm." Learn more about trauma and
post-stress disorder and how children and adolescents
react to violence, then review hands-on tips for helping
them cope over time.

* On Tuesday, September 11, 2001,
New York and other parts of the US suffered a series of devastating attacks.
Hijackers commandeered four commercial airliners: Two flew into New York City's World Trade Center, toppling the twin 110-story
structures; a third impacted the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.; the fourth crashed in rural Pennsylvania. Terrorism, however, is a
worldwide phenomenon, and has to be tackled worldwide and by different means. We also think that "war" on terrorism as used by CNN is
the wrong term. CU will make all its resources available to be part of the fight against terrorism.
ter·ror·ism . The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.
