University of Richmond to participate in statewide day of mourning and Hokie Hope campaign

April 19, 2007

University of Richmond will participate in the statewide day of mourning April 20 for the victims of the campus shootings at Virginia Tech earlier this week.

The university's carillon will begin ringing at noon, calling students, faculty, staff and alumni to a 12:15 p.m. memorial service of readings, reflection, candles and silent meditation. The service will open with a reading of the names of the 32 people killed.

University officials also are encouraging all members of the university community to wear Virginia Tech's school colors, maroon and orange, in support of the Hokie Hope demonstration of support April 20.
