This is something we should all show our concern and care for, and I'm glad that our university is doing something in remembrance of the victims of this horrific event.
This is from Tim Goodwin, and I hope that you'll show your support in this:
On Monday 23rd April the Students´ Association and the University
Chaplain will be jointly hosting an event to mark a moment of reflection following the heartbreaking events earlier this week at Virginia Tech University in the United States.
The event, which will begin at 1pm and will be held in the Dining Room of Teviot, the students´ union building, will be open to all students and will be entirely secular, welcoming people of all faiths and none. During this time a short poem will be
read and those in attendance will be invited to light a candle to commemorate those who have passed away. The aim is to provide a quiet space for staff and students to take some time to reflect on this terrible tragedy, as well as to provide an opportunity for all members of the university community to come together to show their support and solidarity for Virginia Tech at this difficult time.
The event will last for about 20 minutes, but the Dining Room will remain open for the rest of the day to allow students and staff to come and go as they please, take as much time as is necessary, and to sign a book of condolences and reflections that will be available.
For more information, please contact Tim Goodwin, president of the Students´ Association, on president@eusa.ed.ac.uk or 0131 650 2648.
Thanks very much.
Tim Goodwin
President, EUSA
