Friday, April 20, 9:00am
A message from the Governor's office was received by the College.  The Governor asks for one-minute of silence, or tolling of the bell, on Friday, April 20.

“As governor and the parent of a college student, my thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends who have lost loved ones, the students, faculty and staff at Virginia Tech who are in shock that something like this could happen on their campus, and the entire Commonwealth of Virginia, which I know is struggling to make sense out of this senseless act of violence,” said Governor Gregoire.
