But upon walking deeper into campus, it became immediately apparent this was not a day like every other.

By 11am, students were already lined up by the thousands to enter Cassell Coliseum, site of the Convocation that Tech president Charles Steger hoped would "begin the healing process" following the massacre of 32 of their classmates.
