I am a current Virginia Tech student and I am trying to bring awareness to an initiative that has been started by undergraduate students at VT who experienced the tragedy on April 16, 2007.
Our efforts are very simple—we are collecting artwork (postcards/online graphics/lyrics/songs/poetry) with unfiltered, raw, authentic emotions about April 16, 2007—no matter what emotions they are: sad, angry, fear, or numbness. Our only requirement is that all creativity is honest and authentic.
Our predominant focus will be on submissions that reveal positive and empowering shifts that have been created since this tragedy. It is our intention to bring attention to the positive and to embrace our challenge as VT students to bring good out of hardship and to respect the legacy of the Hokies who lost their lives.
It is our intention to create a book with these submissions to show the world our resiliency, honesty, and strength. Please be aware, by your submission, we reserve the right to use your work in this book.
Electronic submissions from VT classes of 2007-2011, their parents, current faculty and staff, and those who have a direct connection to the event can be sent to:
VtStrength@yahoo.com.
All other submissions can be sent to:
ShareWithVT@yahoo.com
Online submission of videos and photos on Facebook group.
Invite your friends to this group.
