Virginia Tech: In Memoriam
Kevin McDowell, a tester here in Office and a graduate of Virginia Tech, has posted a PowerPoint template in remembrance of the victims of last week's Virginia Tech shooting. It features the names of all victims, along with a scene from the campus, in a fitting tribute to those who lost their lives. Download the poster here.
In Kevin's own words: "I attended VT from ’87-’91 with a B.A. in Communication Studies. I’ve been following the story with some of my alumni friends and was inspired by the list of names on the Virginia Tech websites home page. The quote is from Nikki Giovanni, a poet and professor at Tech that I had for my Creative Writing Poetry class when I attended there."
The poster has hit an emotional spot with our readers. Here are a few of your comments:
- Beautiful memoriam. Thank you.
- This is a beautiful memoriam. These are the names that should be remembered. Even though I live in Florida, I will always be a Virginian from the the Blue Ridge Mountains. God bless all the families, even the shooter's.
