Later that evening, a group of CSUN music faculty and students will hold a drumming memorial and unification ceremony to help people deal with the emotional fallout from the tragedies.

The discussion, "Domestic Crisis and War," will take place at 4 p.m. in the university's Performing Arts Center on the east side of the campus in the University Student Union.

Among CSUN faculty taking part are political science professor Mehran Kamrava, Asian American studies professor Gina Masequesmay, Pan African studies professor Johnie Scott, Chicano studies professor David Rodriguez, Central American studies professor Rosana Perez and religious studies professor Amir Hussain. They will be joined by Robert Benson, a professor at Loyola Law School.

At 5:30 p.m., music faculty and students, including music professor Ron Borczon, director of CSUN's Music Therapy Clinic, will host a drumming memorial and unification ceremony on the lawn east of the Music Building just off Nordhoff Street.

Dozens of drums will be available for community members to use.
