Flinchum, Chief of Police As you know, the Virginia Tech community will be honoring those affected by the tragic events of April 16, 2007 with a &#39;Day of Remembrance&#39; on Wednesday April 16, 2008. In addition to the special ceremonies scheduled for this day, the university and the Blacksburg community will be hosting many other activities related to remembrance, recognition and healing. Further, our campus will be hosting several major events including women&#39;s softball on Wednesday, a concert at Burruss Hall on Thursday night, and our annual spring football game on Saturday. These events will, of course, draw many visitors to our campus and require significant resources from our police department. To ensure the timely and efficient delivery of our services, the Virginia Tech Police Department has decided to accept the generous offers of assistance from other law enforcement agencies in and around our community. Through these partnerships, the Virginia Tech Police Department hopes to create an environment of comfort and safety for students, faculty, staff, and visitors as they experience the events of this important week. The presence of these officers should not be seen as a cause for concern, but rather as yet another example of the support our university continues to receive. Should have any questions or concerns, please contact your Virginia Tech Police Department. Thank you. - end - Language A language of the resource eng Title A name given to the resource Police Presence on Campus flinchum police remembrance Document A resource containing textual data.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Brent Jesiek Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mark McNamee Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2008-02-21 Description An account of the resource Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2008 12:21:02 -0500 From: Provost@vt.edu To: Multiple recipients <LISTSERV@LISTSERV.VT.EDU> Subject: A Day of Remembrance: University events on April 16, 2008 Thursday, February 20, 2008 Dear students, faculty, and staff of Virginia Tech Three weeks ago, Virginia Tech President Charles Steger established a 21-person steering committee to guide the planning of on-campus activities to be held on April 16, 2008, marking the tragedy that occurred on campus one year earlier. The planning committee included students, faculty, staff, administrators, and community members, plus students and family members directly affected by the events. Provost Mark McNamee chaired the committee and Jay Poole, director of the Office of Recovery and Support (ORS), served as vice-chair. Megan Armbruster from ORS provided administrative and operational support. The committee met three times and openly discussed a range of ideas for the official university observances of the April 16, 2007 tragedy. The committee welcomed input from those who wished to contribute, and benefited greatly from the advice and support of the affected families and students. Several major decisions emerged by consensus from the committee&#39;s deliberations: April 16, 2008 will focus on the lives of the 32 innocent students and faculty members who were killed on April 16, 2007; events will be simple and respectful; opportunities will be provided for anyone who wishes to honor the memories of the victims. In the spirit of these guidelines, the following events will represent the official university commemoration of "A Day of Remembrance" on April 16, 2008. ==> 10:30 a.m. to noon: University Commemoration Event, Drillfield (rain or shine): The names of each innocent victim and a few words about the special qualities of each person will be read aloud. President Steger will welcome those assembled. (The selection of readers and the format of the readings is still a work in progress.) ==> Sundown (approximately 7:45 p.m.): Candlelight Vigil, Drillfield (rain or shine): The students of Virginia Tech will sponsor and organize a candlelight vigil beginning at sundown. The initial lighting of candles will begin by using a ceremonial candle at the university memorial site that will burn during the entire day. In addition, between noon and 5 p.m., the university will provide venues across campus where individuals or groups who may wish express or witness remembrances in the form of poetry or other readings; writing; musical or artistic performances; art creation; flower planting; or other activities including service activities. Our goal is to balance opportunities for individual, informal expression with some structured activities. Venues and formats will be announced as plans evolve. As it becomes available, all information will be posted to the "April 16, 2008: A Day of Remembrance" website (www.remembrance.vt.edu). This website will be linked to the university homepage and will become live during the week of February 25. Additional Activities The students of Virginia Tech are also sponsoring a university and community picnic on Sunday April 20, 2008 from 1 to 4 p.m. This picnic will recognize and support everyone who contributed in so many important ways to the April 16, 2007 emergency response, and the immediate and ongoing recovery and support efforts. Introductions will occur at approximately 1:30 p.m. On April 16, 2008, several private events will be organized in collaboration with the families of the deceased and the injured students. The families and injured students may choose to participate in any of the university events, but they will not be formally identified as participants. No classes will be held on April 16, 2008, but the university will be open. Faculty and staff may participate in any of the university activities if they wish to. We understand that many faculty, staff, and students do not know how they will feel or react on April 16, 2008. We urge all employees and supervisors to be flexible and to place highest priority on the health and welfare of each individual. We will view April 16, 2008 as a very special workday that will not require staff to take sick leave, personal leave, or vacation time. Some buildings will be closed and those employees will not be expected to report to work. Counseling support will be available throughout campus. Megan Armbruster from the Office of Recovery and Support will serve as the operational director for the April 16, 2008 events. She has begun her work with many university offices on logistics and support issues, and is assembling a task force for the events. All questions and suggestions should be sent to Armbruster at remembrance@vt.edu.
