Virginia Tech vigil

Remembering Virginia Tech

Arts & Sciences freshman Claire Glasspiegel helps Baili Min, a graduate student in mathematics in Arts & Sciences, light a candle during the University's gathering April 19 in the Brookings Quadrangle to show support for those impacted by the Virginia Tech tragedy. More than 150 students and administrators attended the event to hear remarks from Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton; Karin Johnes, a Virginia Tech alumna and former director of WUSTL's Greek life; campus ministers; students and others. Candles were lit, followed by a moment of silence, and those in attendance were able to add their thoughts to a condolence message that will be sent to Virginia Tech.
