Maryland Governor O'Malley Declares Friday, April 20 Day of Mourning

In addition, we will respond to Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley's declaration that Friday be observed as a day of mourning to honor the lives of those lost, and to join schools, businesses, churches and local governments across the state by ringing bells—in our case, at the Chapel—at noon.

In conclusion, we are all Terps for life, but for one day, we will all be Hokies. Thanks for putting that famous Terrapin pride to use, for the benefit of an ACC institution that needs all the support we can give. [an error occurred while processing this directive]
