April 16, 2008 - 07:00PM Chapels Field
On April 16th, 2007 Virginia Tech was the site of the deadliest school
shooting in U.S. history. A total of 32 people were shot and killed,
in addition to the shooter who later took his own life. The events at
Virginia Tech have affected universities nationwide. The tragedy is
important to commemorate, as it helps us to appreciate the freedoms we,
as a university community, fight to protect.
A vigil to remember the victims will be held Wednesday evening.
Assuming the weather is nice, we plan to hold it outside on Chapels
Field. Please bring your thoughts to share about Virginia Tech or
about non-violence on university campuses.
If you plan to attend, or even if you can't make it, please wear maroon
and orange (VA Tech colors) on Wednesday in commemoration of the
tragedy.
