At Virginia Tech, most of the more than 5,000 incoming students have finished orientation, which took place over several sessions on campus last month. Each group was welcomed and observed a moment of silence for the victims of the shootings last April. After that, spokesman Chris Clough says security was discussed in much the same way as in past years — covered in general group discussions and in breakout campus tours for students with orientation leaders — but not dwelled on excessively.
Clough says there was not any noticeably higher level of interest by students and parents in security than in past years.
“They’re obviously aware,” of the events of last April, he says. But, “There really was a fresh start and a lot of enthusiasm shown by students and families.”
