Students and faculty gathered in Georgetown University’s Red Square on Friday, September 23, 2016 for a moment of silence, prayer, sharing, and reflection. “The goal of the vigil…was to create a space for sharing that could foster healing and community,” wrote Jonese Austin, a Georgetown University student. “We wanted to bring attention to all that’s going on and how it has affected us as students on Georgetown’s campus.”
