SIU CARBONDALE TO HONOR 9/11 VICTIMS WITH SALUKI STAIR CLIMB

By Mark Wells Aug 18, 2025 | 11:55 AM

SIU Carbondale will pay tribute to the victims of 9/11 with its Saluki Stair Climb on Thursday, September 11, at 6 a.m. at the Banterra Center.

The event features a simulated 110-floor stair climb, symbolizing the 110 floors of the World Trade Center’s twin towers.

For those who prefer not to climb stairs, a two-mile walk around the Banterra Center concourse will also be available. This distance represents the evacuation from Ground Zero to a location across the Brooklyn Bridge.

Participants may join individually or as part of a team and are encouraged to arrive by 5:45 a.m.
