Please join us for a moment of solidarity to pay our respects to the innocent victims of the Chapel Hill attack- Deah Barakat, Yusor Abu-Salha, and Razan Abu-Salha. Let us show our university what TRUE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION really look like:

Atheists, Muslims, Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists and more; to show the university that we can come together as a student body when tragedy strikes and criticize how our society and media conducts itself.

Participating groups include:
American Interfaith League
KSU Muslim Students Association
Hillel at Kent State University
United Christian Ministries at Kent State University
Islamic Medical Association of Neomed
Humanist Society of Kent State University
JMC Student Voice Team

Invite friends, family, students, faculty, staff.

We will meet on the K in Risman Plaza, open the space, then proceed in a silent walk to front campus.

It is our hope that this can be a continued conversation moving forward.

Please share this event on your pages and through any and all means of social media.
