BLACKSBURG, Va. – It’s been 14 years since 32 lives were taken on the campus of Virginia Tech. The pandemic did throw a wrench in tradition, but the university is still committed to never forgetting.
The Ceremonial Candle at the April 16 memorial was lit at midnight and will continue to burn for 24 hours. Due to the pandemic and to avoid large gatherings, the ceremony at midnight and 11:59 p.m. were canceled this year.
The university still placed flowers and wreaths on all 32 memorial stones like they do every year.
