Scholarship honors alumnus, 9/11 hero

Glick

n the morning of September 11, Jeremy Glick '93 boarded United Flight 93 in Newark for a business trip to California. When hijackers took control of the plane, he and a few others phoned family and friends about a plan to overtake the terrorists. Not long after, the plane crashed in rural Pennsylvania, killing them all.

In memory of Glick, a scholarship has been created at the University to support his commitment to the value of a fraternity experience and its rewards. The endowed scholarship will give financial assistance to students in fraternities and sororities.

Alpha Delta Phi alumnus Peter Heinrich '60, points out that the Glick scholarship will support more than his fraternity. "The reason the scholarship is for the whole Greek community is that Jeremy was very active in promoting the concept of intra-fraternity activities while he was chapter president," says Heinrich.

Glick was one of six University graduates who died during the September terrorist attacks. The others were Jean Hoadley Peterson '69N, also a passenger on Flight 93; Zhe (Zack) Zheng '95, '98S (MBA), who was assisting people on site before the World Trade Center collapsed; Jeffrey Smith '87, '88S (MBA), an analyst for an investment banking firm at the World Trade Center; Brendan Dolan '86, a senior vice president at a futures trading company in the World Trade Center; and Aram Iskenderian '82, a section manager for a bond-trading company at the World Trade Center.

Contributions to the fund can be sent to the Jeremy Glick Memorial Scholarship Fund, Gift Office, 30 Wallis Hall, Rochester, N.Y. 14627.
