Four students have recently been selected to be 2012-13 participants in the NYMTC/UTRC September 11th Memorial Program Academic Initiative, a program which began in 2005 to honor three NYMTC staff members who died in the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001: Ignatious Adanga, Charles Lesperance and See Wong Shum.
