Memorial for the 32*
Five years ago today the Virginia Tech Community was horrified by the actions of one individual.  Words cannot express the sadness that remains for the sudden loss of so many.  

I continue to hope that those left behind have found peace and know that the entire Hokie Nation grieves with them and will never forget the 32.


Please take a moment today to remember the 32 lives lost on April 16, 2007.


"Take time to remember the legacies, remember the dreams and remember the talent that our community has lost.  I hope you  are inspired to work harder to honor the 32.  Share your talents with the world for the 32.  Achieve your dreams for the 32.  Be more compassionate, friendly and thoughtful for the 32.  Be better, for the 32."
Adeel Khan, SGA President at the dedication of the permanent Memorial for the 32
