As we have reported, all four victims in last week's on-campus shooting at UNLV were professors.

To honor the staff members who lost their lives, the University of Nevada, Reno held a vigil in front of the Joe Crowley Student Union Monday night.

Students, staff, and the community honored the victims with music performed by the university ensemble, speeches from staff and student leaders, and candles which were lit and passed out to show love and support for the UNLV community.

"The performances that we had are very impactful, they touched hearts," said Boris Carpioguerra, ASUN student body president. "I think it just showed how when bad things happen, we all get together and we try to find some good into it and this vigil helped show that good."

It was a short and sweet vigil, but the ASUN student body president said they plan to provide other ways the community can honor the victims in the near future.

The three who passed away were 69-year-old Naoko Takemaru, 64-Year-old Cha-Jan "Jerry" Chang, and 39-year-old Patricia Navarro Velez.

The university has resources available to help people who may be struggling. The Downing Counseling Clinic offers therapy services for students, faculty, and staff.

The Employee Assistant Program is available for faculty and staff. And the university's LiveWell program is here to help you prioritize your well-being and navigate campus resources.

Our hearts are with the victims, their families, and the entire University of Nevada Las Vegas.
