There will be a candlelight vigil Thursday, April 19, from 8:00p.m.-9:00p.m. at the Russell Union rotunda for any GSU students who wish to honor those affected by the tragic event that took place at Virginia Tech Monday. The vigil is sponsored by the Student Government Association and will feature a representative from the GSU adminstration and GSU's Dean of Students, Georj Lewis.Different religious groups from campus will share prayer and poetry and a spiritual song will be performed as part of the program. Those in attendance will also have a chance to sign a card expressing condolences that will be sent to Virginia Tech. Students may also give donations that will go toward a memorial fund set up at Virginia Tech.
I think it is very important for everyone, not just students, to take the time to realize that this can happen anywhere. This is no doubt a horrible tradegy and we should honor those who went to class like every other college student around the world Monday morning and just happened to be the victims of a troubled man. For those students who may be having trouble with feeling safe after Monday's events, I would highly encourage you and your friends to attend this vigil as the Geogia Southern community comes together during this time.
My prayers go out to the students and families at Virginia Tech.
