@uva Today at 1:55 p.m. the UVA Chapel bells will toll to honor the lives of Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr., and D’Sean Perry. As we mark three years since their passing, everyone in the UVA community is invited to pause, reflect, and remember them. Together, let us honor their memory and stand in unity and support for all who have been touched by their lives. Following the tolling of the Chapel bells, the Batten School and The PEGLLLLab invite the University community to join in a memorial walk to the Betsy and John Casteen Arts Grounds, to visit the trees planted for Chandler, Davis and Perry. A student led silent vigil will be held Thursday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. on the South Lawn. #UVAStrong
