 A first year seminar at UW-Stevens Point uses the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks to engage student veterans.

David Chrisinger is an associate lecturer in the history department. His class called "Back from the Front" is going on its third year.

Students spend 16 weeks learning the history of veterans coming home from war and also do a lot of reflective wrtiing.

Chrisinger said many of his students were in elementary school when the 2001 attacks happened.
