Remembrance
The German Club's 135th Anniversary reunion weekend falls on the 20th anniversary of the tragic events of April 16, 2007. As we gather to celebrate the bonds of fellowship and brotherly love, we also pause to honor the 32 lives lost and the enduring spirit of the Hokie community.
During the Reunion Weekend
Virginia Tech will host remembrance events on campus during this weekend, including the 3.2 for 32 Run in Remembrance. Details will be published by the university closer to the date. We encourage all reunion attendees to participate as they are able.
The April 16 Memorial is located on the Drillfield and is open to the public at all times.
We are Virginia Tech. We must not lose sight of the fact that our community is defined not by tragedy, but by our response to it.
