Off the cuff

Terri,

It was an honor to share the stage with you. Your dance moves and excitement for life never failed to light up a room. You had an impact on so many and left an unmistakable legacy with this community.

Rest in peace.

–Ryan

Close to home

It’s one of those things that seemed to happen in other towns, not here. This time it was really close to home. Hearts out to Moscow.

Saturday

Although I am disturbed and distressed about the tragedies that unfolded Saturday, it makes me feel better seeing all of the signs around Moscow remembering and honoring the victims. Moscow is a strong community that unites in good times, and in bad. My thoughts are with the victims and their families.

Moscow

Though I didn’t know any of the victims in this recent tragedy, I’m proud of how well the Moscow community is dealing with it. It is really a testament of how strong our small community is.

My home

I grew up here. These are my people. This is my town. It’s been through tragedy and faced death before — perhaps more than any small town should have to endure. But every time, this community — the university and the city — come together in a way that makes me swell with pride that I can say, “I come from here.” My thoughts and my heart are with the victims and the families during this time.

Tragedy

I’m reminded Moscow is without three great people every time I walk to my apartment behind Arby’s. Thoughts and prayers continue to be with the families and friends of Saturday’s victims.

–Stephan

Inadequate words

Everything I want to say feels hollow in light of the tragedy on Saturday. I didn’t know the victims personally, but I do want to send my thoughts and prayers out to them and their families.

–Daphne

Heartbreak in Moscow

It’s impossible to not feel sorrow at the violence and loss that came out of Saturday’s shooting in Moscow. However, the outpouring of love and support from the Moscow community gives me hope. My thoughts and prayers go out to those who were impacted by the shooting.

Breaking news on MSN

“Women’s body image is about what men like, study finds.” Whoa, that’s some groundbreaking stuff. Next they’ll be telling us that men’s body image is about what women like. What kind of crazy world is this?

–Andrew

Blessings

As the first days of term are coming to a close, let’s take a moment to remember how blessed we are to be getting an education, especially in this great little community.

–Katelyn
