UMass Lowell seniors Jared Bilancieri and John Driscoll were just infants when terrorists attacked the United States on Sept. 11, 2001.

But 20 years later, as the UML community gathered to remember the seven alumni and friends of the university killed in the attacks, Bilancieri and Driscoll stood prominently in the crowd.
