SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Nearly a quarter of a century after 270 people were killed in a terrorist attack, Syracuse University continues to remember and pay tribute to those who lost their lives.

As part of SU's Remembrance Week, the annual rose laying ceremony was held Friday in honor of the 35 SU students killed aboard Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988.

Family and friends of the students killed praise the university for the event they've hosted for so long.

The ceremony was held at 2:03 p.m. Friday, the same time the tragedy took place 24 years ago.

The university also awards 35 current seniors with Remembrance Scholarships each year.
