SGER: Support of Virginia Tech Graduate Students

2007年4月16日，弗吉尼亚理工大学发生了美国高等教育史上最大的悲剧，造成32人死亡。为了帮助其社区应对这一令人心碎的事件，大学管理部门决定关闭诺里斯大厅，这是许多枪击事件的发生地。虽然该建筑的大部分用于教室，但它也容纳了一些工程研究实验室。结果，大约60名教师和研究生流离失所。弗吉尼亚理工大学工程学院的管理部门已经联系了约翰霍普金斯大学，并要求他们提供帮助。弗吉尼亚理工大学的学生主要是工程科学和力学专业的学生。JHU已经接收了7名访问学生，并可能再增加5名。在可能的范围内，学生将继续他们的博士论文研究。如果这是不可行的（例如，因为所需的设备不可用），学生将从事与他们的博士课程相关的研究。

0741335DONOHUE, MARC D. SGER: Support of Virginia Tech Graduate Students Virginia Tech has suffered the greatest tragedy in the history of U.S. higher education with the deaths of 32 people on April 16, 2007. In an attempt to help its community cope with this heartbreaking event, the university administration decided to close Norris Hall, the site of many of the shootings. Although much of the building is devoted to classrooms, it also houses a number of engineering research laboratories. As a result, about 60 faculty and graduate students have been displaced. Johns Hopkins (JHU) has been contacted by the administration of Virginia Tech's College of Engineering and asked to provide assistance. The Virginia Tech students are predominantly Engineering Science and Mechanics majors. JHU has accepted seven as visiting students and may add another five. To the extent possible, the students will be continuing their doctorial thesis research. Where this is not feasible (for example because needed equipment is not available), the students will be working on research related to their doctoral programs.
