| Virginia Tech Tragedy Touches All |
The tragic events on the Virginia Tech campus April 16 have had a terrible impact on those on university campuses, in schools, in businesses all across America. The performing arts community is much too intertwined for such senseless acts of violence not to have touched us all.
While we rejoice in each contact that shows one of "our own" is safe, we still mourn the loss of any member of the academic community.
We salute the spirit shown on the Virginia Tech website "we are the Hokies, we will prevail."
