Virginia Tech officials say two student organizations will host a candlelight vigil Thursday for Samanata Shrestha, the VT senior who was killed over the weekend. The university says Epsilon Sigma Alpha and the Nepalese Student Association will host a candlelight vigil on Thursday at 7:00 p.m. on the lower terrace of War Memorial Chapel, weather permitting. Should the weather make it necessary to change the time of the event, it will be posted to Virginia Tech News.

In addition, Virginia Tech says the family of Samanata Shrestha invites the university community to a visitation at McCoy Funeral Home in Blacksburg. It will be held on Wednesday from noon to 2:00 p.m.
