Candleight vigil and campus walk focus on gun violence

Bluffton University’s Campus Ministries, Damascus Road, Multicultural Student Organization and PEACE Club held a candlelight vigil and campus walk on Oct. 5 to remember those who have been affected by gun violence and to pray for racial reconciliation in our communities and our country. 

Nearly 100 students, faculty, staff and community members met at the basketball courts across from Burcky Gym to pray.

The group also walked through campus while the names of those impacted by gun violence, both locally and nationally, were read.
