Showing support in a time of tragedy;
Orange and Maroon Day suggested for this Friday
Colleges and universities around the world have been showing their support for those affected by the tragedy at Virginia Tech this week. Officials at NC State have also voiced our support and concern. Following is a note that was forwarded to a College of Management student, encouraging us to show a visible sign of support by wearing the Virginia Tech colors tomorrow.
This message was forwarded to one of our students: Virginia Tech family members across the country have united to declare this Friday, April 20th, an "Orange and Maroon Effect" day to honor those killed in the tragic events on campus Monday, and to show support for Virginia Tech students, faculty, administrators, staff, alumni, and friends. "Orange and Maroon Effect" was born several years ago as an invitation to Tech fans to wear orange and maroon to Virginia Tech athletic events. We invite everyone from all over the country to be a part of the Virginia Tech family this Friday, to wear orange and maroon to support the families of those who were lost.
NC State officials have posted an open letter about campus safety at NC State.
