Eventually, the steel will be used in a monument to commemorate the attacks for placement at Cheyenne Mountain.<\/p>\n<p>The ceremony on El Pomar Center Plaza officially launched an effort to design the monument by a four-person team of senior engineering students. The beam will remain at UCCS for study until mid-November. Chancellor Pam Shockley-Zalabak and Peter Gorder, associate professor, Engineering, called on members of the campus community to submit their ideas for the monument.<\/p>\n<p>To see a previous story
