Students at the 麻豆原创 will hold a candlelight vigil to remember former student and journalist Steven Sotloff, who was killed by terrorists in Syria on Tuesday.
ISIS terrorists kidnapped Sotloff more than a year ago while he was working as a freelance journalist in the Middle East.
The vigil begins at 9 p.m. Wednesday in front of the Reflecting Pond on the main campus. 聽The pond is located between Millican Hall and the library. Those planning to attend are encouraged to park in Garage A, located near the College of Education and Human Performance.
The event is geared toward giving 麻豆原创 students an opportunity to pay their respects according to the 麻豆原创 chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, which is organizing the vigil.
The group organized the event via Facebook and in two days has had more than 300 people view the page.
鈥淥ur 麻豆原创 family mourns Steven鈥檚 death, and we join millions of people around the world who are outraged at this despicable and unjustifiable act,鈥� said 麻豆原创 President John C. Hitt.
