Please join us at the Library of Virginia on Wednesday, May 3, for a lunchtime talk by Tom Kapsidelis, "Higher Aim: Guns, Safety, and Healing in the Era of Mass Shootings."

A full description of the talk is below. We'll be in the conference rooms, so bring your lunch!


As the search for answers continued in the decade after the Virginia Tech shootings, brave survivors and others deeply affected by the events of that day have taken steps that show a path to reforms to make schools, neighborhoods, and the nation safer. Virginia Foundation for the Humanities Fellow Tom Kapsidelis, a longtime journalist in Virginia, has examined this era against the backdrop of the nation's contentious struggle over gun, safety, and policy issues. He is completing his research at the Library of Virginia, where he has read Kaine administration e-mails and other documents archived after the tragedy in Blacksburg. Kapsidelis will talk about the personal and policy dimensions of this important chapter in the state's history, and share some of the stories of resilience and determination he's encountered along the way.
