You Fit Here

Early on the morning of Monday, August 20 - the first day of Fall 2007 classes - a large banner reading "You Fit Here" is on display near the War Memorial Chapel. The drillfield, intermediate memorial, and Burruss Hall are visible in the background. Smaller text on the poster reads: "Create a puzzle piece that says who you are." Sponsored by Hillel at VT and the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of New River Valley, the campaign also included flyers that explained: "Welcome <u>you</u> here, whoever you are, and all that you are. We believe this is a time and place for growth and transformation. Here we can talk to each other, learn from our differences and celebrate what we have in common. Shalom. Peace."

Post-Dedication Interview

After the intermediate memorial dedication ceremony, interviews such as this one were commonplace. But while there was clearly a media presence at this event, it was subdued in comparison to the immediate aftermath of April 16.
