The silver lining of this COVID-19 pandemic is that my mom got to hood me in our homemade graduation ceremony! My mom who wasn't able to go to school past the 6th grade in Vietnam. The same woman who grew up separated from her own mom, dad & new siblings after the war. #JHU2020

The ceremonial candle was lit for 24 hours at the April 16 memorial. 🧡 Once extinguished at midnight, the candle was carried back into Burruss Hall, to represent our commitment to never forget. 🕯
Thank you for honoring the 32 Hokies today. #VTWeRemember

"Today, consider the words of our own Nikki Giovanni, spoken at the April 17, 2007, convocation: 'The #HokieNation embraces our own and reaches out with open heart and hands to those who offer their hearts and minds.'" — @VTSandsman #VTWeRemember

Hokies: Please stay home and only go out if it's absolutely essential. Social distancing is key right now. This doesn't mean that you can't still socialize virtually with loved ones and get outside for fresh air, but when you stay at home, you help #StopTheSpread of #COVID19.
