In light of the campus shooting incident at Bridgewater College yesterday, resulting in the death of two officers — including Vashon “J.J.” Jefferson, former DPS officer at Shenandoah — the Prayer Chapel off the lobby of Goodson Chapel-Recital Hall is open today.
J.J. was a deeply loved and valued member of our community. You are invited to reflect, pray, meditate, or simply be still … and candles are available to light.
If you are feeling a sense of uncertainty or grief today, you are not alone. The Office of Spiritual Life staff will be present until 9 p.m. this evening. If you are in need of support, please reach out to Spiritual Life at spirituallife@su.edu or call (540) 535-3546.
