All this week, Virginia Tech will be commemorating the 32 students and faculty who were killed during the 2007 mass shooting. For the second year in a row, the event will be virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The week of events began with a digital exhibit titled “We Are Better Than We Think.” Selected exhibits include artwork and messages of hope and love sent to the university in the aftermath of the shooting.
