A message from Kate and Chris
We
are sure you all have heard about the shooting at Virginia Tech
this Monday. In light of this tragedy, it is important to remember
and be thankful for what we have. If you knew someone from the
shooting, we would like to express our deepest sympathy for you, and want you
to know that we, along with the rest of the campus community, are here for your support.
In support of the victims and survivors, we encourage you to attend the candlelight vigil tonight at 8:00 pm at Muller Chapel.
Tomorrow,
"Orange and Maroon Effect Day,"
wear Orange and Maroon to honor those killed in this tragic event. Your
support would mean the world to the friends and families of those put
in harm's way at Virginia Tech.
It is a good idea to remember those
who are important to you. If you love someone, in any way, let them
know. We can never be certain of what tomorrow will bring, but we can
learn from the past and try to be as prepared as humanly possibly for
what waits around the corner.
Remember
too that this was an isolated happening, a very unfortunate one, and we
encourage you to not let this keep you from feeling safe, there
are still lots of great things that happen every day in this world.
