Middle Georgia CEO highlighted a recent faculty Q&A with Dr. Billy Wooten, dean of MGA’s School of Arts & Letters, who shared his opinions on the enduring impact of 9/11 and what it means for older and younger generations today.
"How do you think the events of 9/11 continue to shape American society and politics 23 years later?
"To this day, 23 years later, I can recount each moment of where I was and what I was doing on September 11, 2001. From getting ready for my first day of graduate school and watching the planes hit the Twin Towers in real time, to driving to the campus listening to the coverage of the plane hit the Pentagon, to arriving to campus and watching the news on the giant monitors, and crying with my new classmates in the journalism building. I remember feeling fear, grief, and patriotism all at once – a sensation I’d never felt before."
