‘Vigil for Unity’ to be held at Utah Valley University in honor of Charlie Kirk
Utah Valley University is holding a “Vigil for Unity” Friday in honor of Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated at its Orem campus on Sept. 10.
The indoor event is set to take place at 6 p.m. ET at the UCCU Center, and “will provide a space for students, faculty, staff, and community members to come together in remembering, healing, and reaffirming shared values,” the university said.
“This attack was not just on an individual, but on the spirit of free expression, civil discourse, and intellectual inquiry that sits at the very foundation of our university,” Astrid Tuminez, the president of Utah Valley University, said in a statement. “The violence that occurred on our campus has shaken us deeply. We remain steadfast in our commitment to learning, dialogue, and the values that unite us, even in times of grief. Together we choose hope for the future, and care for each other during this time.”
“The Vigil for Unity is open to the public. UVU encourages all who attend to come in the spirit of peace, reflection, and mutual support,” the university added.
