Reaction to Hearing the News

Description

After being advised to stay away from windows and such on April 16, many of the Career Services staff and students who were in our building at the time gathered together in an interior room (our staff lounge). As things were unfolding on campus around us we were watching the news and hearing what was unfolding. This photo was taken as we had just learned of the first seven fatalities in Norris Hall. Everyone was shocked. We couldn&#39;t believe what we were hearing. As the morning unfolded an we watched intently we were overwhelmed with grieve that this had happened. We had to be strong for the students who were among us. It was surreal. <p>I took this photo, but it didn&#39;t even feel right taking a photo at this time. I only took three photos as it was too upsetting.
