There are no words: While no words can express the tragic events of Tuesday morning, messages of peace, faith and unity highlighted the candlelight vigil attended by over 2,000 students Tuesday night on the commons.

JMU, community react to national tragedy: In reaction to the devastating events that rocked the nation Tuesday, JMU made several adjustments to adapt to outcomes of the tragedy.

Where were you?: "I was late for a class, and the teacher announced in the beginning what was going on, so I didn't find out until the end. I finally talked to my mom this afternoon at 3 p.m. She was working in the Capitol building when she felt the ground shaking. She ran outside and could clearly see the Pentagon burning."

Student struck by car crossing South Main: A female JMU student was struck by a vehicle while crossing near the intersection of South Main and Harrison streets at about 2:50 p.m Wednesday.

JMU suspends all athletics:
No athletic teams will participate in intercollegiate competition through the weekend in response to Tuesday's terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., JMU officials announced Wednesday afternoon.

SGA elections take a back seat to national tragedy: Beyond campaign promises and platforms, another factor influenced Tuesday's Student Government Association elections for Freshman Class Council and Student Senate.

Giving Hope: In the aftermath of Tuesday's tragedy, scores of JMU students flooded Rockingham Memorial Hospital, answering the national call to donate blood for the victims of the terrorist attacks.

A Day of Remembrance: I was about three blocks from the Capitol when the Pentagon got hit. Roll Call's office is a pitching wedge from the Station. Roll Call is a newspaper covering Capitol Hill events where I intern during the day.
