Members of the Elon community are invited to gather at 4 p.m. Monday to remember the victims of Sunday morning's mass shooting in Orlando, Florida.
Elon University’s LGBTQIA Employee Resource Group will host a gathering in the wake of the Sunday, June 12, mass shooting in Orlando. The gathering will take place from 4 to 5 p.m. on Monday, June 13, at the Gender & LGBTQIA Center on the Moseley Center second floor, room 211. The gathering is open to all members of the Elon University community who would like to come and express their thoughts, sympathies and grief while being in community.
Also, the Sacred Space in the Numen Lumen Pavilion will be available Monday from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. for anyone seeking space to pray, reflect or light a candle for the victims, families, friends and wider community impacted by the shooting. There will be a brief time of communal prayer and meditation at 12:30 p.m. in the Sacred Space.
The Orlando attack by a gunman took the lives of at least 50 people and injured 53, making it the largest mass shooting in U.S. history.
In solidarity,
