RU Students Hold Vigil in Response to Terrorism
Rachel Thomason | Executive Director

Radford University students, faculty and staff came together Tuesday to rally support and extend a hand of fellowship to those affected by the recent act of terrorism against the US.

At 7:00pm, the RU community gathered in Heth Plaza for an opportunity to "come out and be visible in a public forum" said event coordinator Marquetta Courts. Courts, Greek Life Coordinator, reminded us to "never confuse the two; life and work."

The event concluded with the opportunity for community members to come forward and share their personal feelings with the crowd. Many offered hope and insight, as well as appeals to stay strong, rebuild, and pray for our servicemen.
