Message from Baylor President John M. Lilley:

To the Baylor University family:

At 1 p.m. (CT) this afternoon in Blacksburg, Virginia Tech will hold a university convocation. At that same time here at Baylor, University bells will ring for five minutes in honor of those killed and injured yesterday on the campus of Virginia Tech. At the sound of the bells, we invite students, faculty and staff to remember in prayer and reflection the many individuals and families who have been touched by this terrible tragedy.

John M. Lilley
President
