SELINSGROVE – Susquehanna University will remember two of its own today, commemorating the 22nd anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
Susquehanna’s 9/11 service will take place at noon today on campus, remembering Colleen Supinski of the Class of 1996 and Chris Vialonga of the Class of 1993. Both died in the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City.
Supinski was on the 104th floor of the South Tower, where she was an associate trader for Sandler O’Neill & Partners, and Chris Vialonga ’93 was on the 92nd floor of the North Tower, where he worked as a foreign exchange trader for Carr Futures. Supinski was one of 66 Sandler O’Neill employees who died that day, and Vialonga was one of 69 Carr Futures employees to perish.
Susquehanna’s 9/11 memorial overlooks the football stadium and track where Supinski and Vialonga spent much of their time as student-athletes. Supinski was on the women’s track and cross-country teams and was a member of the Kappa Delta sorority. Vialonga was a standout offensive lineman on the football team and a significant contributor to the 1991 South Region Championship squad’s run to the national Division III semifinals. He was also a member of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity.
