BOCA RATON — On the one-year anniversary of the Haiti earthquake — Jan. 12, 2011 — Lynn University will host a special event – the Knights Unite Day of Caring – to honor the four Lynn students and two professors who died there.

At 4:53 p.m. – the precise time the earthquake shook Haiti – the Lynn community will come together to honor the six whose lives were lost in Haiti, as well as the Lynn employees’ family members lost in the earthquake — during the Celebration of Life Ceremony. Following the ceremony, Lynn will have an uplifting event with food and Haitian music.

In addition, “On January 12, 2011, we are asking all Lynn University faculty, staff and students to participate in a service project,” said President Kevin M. Ross. “We will be partnering with the United Way to establish a listing of service projects, and we will be providing Knights Unite shirts to all of the participants to wear during the service.”
