In the wake of the tragic shooting that claimed the life of Charlie Kirk during an event on campus on September 10, Utah Valley University (UVU) will host a Vigil for Unity on Friday, September 19 at the UCCU Center at 4pm with doors opening at 2:30 pm. UCCU Center is located at 800 W University Pkwy in Orem. The vigil will provide a space for students, faculty, staff, and community members to come together in remembering, healing, and reaffirming shared values.
“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,” said Astrid S. Tuminez, president of Utah Valley University. “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. A video livestream will be available for those unable to attend from uvu.edu.
