  • Almost two weeks after the shooting, Utah Valley University announced a committee to develop a memorial for Charlie Kirk, who was killed hosting a debate on its Orem campus.
  • Last week, students Mary Grace Jackson and Emma Thatcher started a petition opposing a memorial as a misrepresentation of Utah Valley University's values, gathering over 3,300 signatures by Monday.
  • According to a news release, the panel will be co-chaired by Scott M. Smith, UVU Board of Trustees chair and Qualtrics co-founder, and Amanda Covington, Utah Board of Higher Education chair, while Utah Sen. Dan McCay has raised nearly $119,000 for a tribute.
  • Large crowds and campus vigils provided communal spaces for grief and reflection, with Utah Valley University vigil attendees gathering Friday for remembrance and healing.
  • The assassination has also intensified political tensions across the country, while Turning Point USA’s 2,100 chapters by 2024 and 13,000 attendance at 2023 AmericaFest highlight Kirk’s influence among young Americans.
