WNC to hold 'Moment of Peace' on Tuesday at Carson City campus
Western Nevada College’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee will hold a vigil on Tuesday at noon at the flagpole in front of the Bristlecone Building at the Carson City campus.
The committee will hold a Moment of Peace to recognize the lives that were taken last week in a Kroger grocery store shooting in Jeffersontown, Ky., and at the hate crime massacre at Tree of Life Congregation Synagogue in Pittsburgh. The victims’ names will be read, followed by a short period for people to reflect on encouraging an environment of peace.
Community members are invited to join WNC students, faculty and staff in honoring the victims' lives and promoting future peace.
Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval has signed an executive order to have flags at Nevada government buildings to be at half staff.
The flags of the United States and the State of Nevada shall be flown at half-staff at the State Capitol and all state public buildings and grounds until sunset on October 31, 2018, as a mark of respect and in remembrance of the victims in Pennsylvania, according to the Executive Order.
