"9/11 is such an__30__ touchstone for our country, I think people want to find ways to do something, and students as well," says Kevin Kruger, president of the student affairs group. "The idea of giving something back to the __31__ ties in well to the emotional significance of that."

"NYU feels it has a special __34__ to offer this service opportunity to students that are here so they can give back to the community that was so devastated by the attacks," Lentz says.

"We hope that students will learn that community __37__ is part of how we build strong communities and a vibrant __38__ society," Cohen wrote in an e-mail to USA TODAY. "We ask students to reflect on the tragedy of 9/11 and to use this day as a way to show civic engagement and community building."
