Moraine Park Technical College, in partnership with the Wisconsin 9-11 Memorial and Education Center, will host a 9-11 Lecture series every Thursday in February, from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. The events are free and will be held at the College’s West Bend Campus, 2151 N Main Street.

The lecture series will feature Mike Nichols, author of a Few Sleeps Away, on February 6; Secretary Mary Kolar, Wisconsin Dept. of Veterans Affairs, speaking on societal changes since 9-11, on February 13; Charlie Vitchers, foreman at Ground Zero, on February 20; and, Gordon Haberman, father of 9-11 victim Andrea Haberman, on February 27.

The purpose of the series is to bring continued awareness to the 9-11 Memorial efforts in Wisconsin through accounts of personal stories and the building of a memorial in Kewaskum. Current Moraine Park students are working with the Wisconsin 9-11 Memorial and Education Center to offer assistance in some areas of the project. Refreshments will be provided.

This event is made possible thanks to generous donations from Dunn Brothers Coffee, MCR Services, LLC, Property Loss Management, LLC, The Candyman on Main, and Washington County Fair Park and Conference Center.

Seating is limited, and registration is required. The event will also be available on a live stream format. For more information on the event, the live stream, or to register, visit morainepark.edu/lecture.

To kick off our “Year of the Student Veteran,” Moraine Park hosted a somber and moving 9/11 Re-dedication Ceremony on Friday, Sept. 9 at its Fond du lac campus.

Special guest speaker was Jessica Osenbrugge, a West Bend native who was residing in New York City on 9/11.

Osenbrugge shared powerful memories of her time in New York during the terrorist attacks, and the aftermath to follow. She also explained how she became involved with the search efforts for another Wisconsin-native, Andrea Lyn Haberman, who sadly perished in the attacks.

Here are some photos reflecting back on Moraine Park’s re-dedication ceremony:
