Those associated with UI are also encouraged to turn on their porch lights from 6-7 p.m. PST Nov. 13 as a sign of solidarity, according to a UI news release.

“It is important that the students lead this effort toward healing,” McLain in the news release. “We want to ensure we continue to tell their stories, to honor their legacy and to provide a place where each student can heal. Together we are moving forward.”
