4/24/07 Tragedy at Virginia Tech
As we mourn the loss of 32 fellow classmates and professors and continue to come together as a community, I believe that it would be good for all of us to have one last meeting before the semester comes to an end. It will be in our regular place (GBJ Student Center) and only last about an hour 7-8pm. Hope to see everyone there.
