In our 5th year, HSM aims to remember those we lost, support our survivors and make our campuses safer. More about the VTV Family Outreach Foundation:
On April 16, 2007, the world lost 32 extraordinary individuals, each one unique and special, but all of whom shared common characteristics: intellectual curiosity, academic achievement, kindness, a respect and tolerance for others and compassion. Al
l gave of themselves: to their families, friends, colleagues, university and communities. On that same tragic day, other students, faculty members and staff were injured, physically and/or psychologically. They, too, are unique and special and share common characteristics: a willingness to forgive, gratitude for life, a desire to commemorate those who were lost and a passion to make the world a better place. Many of the survivors, their family members and family members of those who died joined as one to form this Foundation in order to:
Care for each other and all who may be impacted by campus tragedy
Ensure that our campuses remain safe and secure for our students
Create a living legacy of the 32 who died that fateful day
