         ASL Marks Shooting's 10th Anniversary
ASL marked the 10th anniversary of the January 16, 2002, campus shootings last week with speeches, a wreath-laying ceremony, and a balloon release. Community Service and Personnel Director Jina Sauls spoke about Angela Dales, Professor Stewart Harris about Professor Tom Blackwell, and Associate Dean Sandra McGlothlin spoke about Dean Tony Sutin. The campus flag was also lowered to half-staff for three days in honor of the victims. "Many thought that ASL could not survive after January 16, 2002," said Dean Wes Shinn. "The fact that we are gathered here today, a decade later, as a thriving academic community, remembering, is a testament to the contributions of our three friends and colleagues."
