Today our hearts are heavy as we approach the one year mark since tragedy struck MSU. This year has been full of grief, anger, and loss, but we can hold onto how much we have healed, came together, and supported one another amidst our sadness. We remember our classmates who lost their lives in this senseless act of violence. May their family and friends find comfort today as they continue to mourn the loss of Alexandria, Arielle, and Brian.

Hug your loved ones tight today. Reach out to a friend who may be struggling extra today. Cry, feel your emotions, do whatever you need to do to take care of yourself today. Samsmile is here for you and together we are Spartan Strong ❤️‍🩹

Reflect on this as you start a new week. 🧠❤️
