INDIANAPOLIS – Employees of Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center in Crane, Ind. enrolled in a graduate certificate program in Indiana University’s School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA) at IUPUI will return from Washington D.C. this evening after surviving the terrorist attack on the Pentagon.
These students, a professor and an administrator were in the Pentagon when the hijacked plane struck the building. Everyone escaped unharmed by navigating through darkness, dust and debris.
The group is expected to arrive by chartered bus to the Holiday Inn Airport, 2501 S. High School Rd., Indianapolis, at approximately 10:30 p.m. Interviews may be conducted in Ballroom C. Ask for hotel manager Brian Sanders if you have trouble locating the room. The hotel requests that you enter by means of the main entrance, quietly and solemnly, out of respect for guests, many of who are stranded passengers.
The students are enrolled in an Executive Education certificate program in SPEA. The program is a five-week intensive graduate course that ends with a week spent in Washington. The students were just concluding a briefing with the Undersecretary of the Navy at the Pentagon yesterday morning when the attack occurred.
The Executive Education programs provide SPEA graduate degrees and certificates to individual organizations on a contract basis. The programs are shortened in length and are customized to fit the individual needs of the corporation or government agency.

Editor’s Note: Due to the large number of guests who have been stranded in Indianapolis, the hotel has asked that everyone be as quiet as possible.
