SOLIDARITY!
Everyone’s a Hokie Today

It’s been reported in the news that Northern Virginia supplies nearly one-third of the student body at Virginia Tech and George Mason has certainly contributed its share. Over the past five years, 52 Mason graduates have become Hokies and there are currently 38 still in attendance.  In the aftermath of the tragedy earlier this week on the Virginia Tech campus and to show solidarity with their alumni at Tech, scores and scores of Mustangs dressed today in Hokie orange and maroon. In addition, students decorated the glass-enclosed display case outside of the library with Hokie memorabilia. The sign in front of the school was draped in the Virginia Tech flag and everyone stayed respectfully silent for Governor Tim Kaine’s requested minute of silence precisely at noon. The students and staff here at Mason want their friends at Tech to know we’re thinking about them every day. (Photo by Marc Robarge)   4-20-07 (3pm)
