Hokie Hope / Hokie Nation
Hello all:
The Virginia Tech alumni are holding a Maroon and Orange Effect Day this Friday, April 20. We are asking everyone to wear our school colors in honor of the victims of Monday's shootings, and to show that hope can prevail after this tragedy. We hope that on Friday, the United States truly will become Hokie Nation.
In addition, the students have also started an Orange Ribbon campaign to honor those who have fallen. To join this campaign, all you have to do is make and wear an orange ribbon. Facebook groups have been started for both of these events.
Lastly, Virginia Tech has started the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund in support of those affected by this tragedy. Donations are accepted online or via mail.
