In the wake of the recent Virginia Tech killings, a BYU-Hawaii campus forum was held Thursday, 19 April to offer the campus community an opportunity to voice possible concerns.
University President Eric B. Shumway shared a story of a young mother who wanted to do something for those who are victims of violence, but felt helpless. As she sought the Lord’s guidance, the answer came that she could shed tears and pray for those who were suffering.
He endorsed the security plan on the BYU-Hawaii campus, and encouraged the campus community to be aware, but to also reach out to others with love.
Chad Ford, Director of the McKay Center for Intercultural Understanding, moderated the forum that included comments from faculty and staff from the counseling and security areas of campus, as well as comments and questions from the students, faculty, and staff in attendance.
