The Vigil
At a moment of such deep anguish for our society, the Institute Community and Equity Office is hosting an online vigil to bring us together in community.
We gather in the wake of the recent tragic killings of African American people across the United States – including the deaths of Ahmaud Arbery (Glynn County, GA, February 23), Breonna Taylor (Louisville, March 13) and George Floyd (Minneapolis, May 25) – and the protests that have followed. Student leaders, faculty and staff will lead us in prayer and reflection.
