## Vigil support request for Harvard Students

Organizing a vigil space may be a meaningful way for the Harvard community to gather in spirit to mourn and/or to respond to an event. Harvard students are invited to [complete this vigil support request form](https://harvard.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6PRZoO2t0PZYjLn), which will initiate the process of support for organizing a vigil space. Upon completing this form, a designated MemChurch staff member will review your request and reach out to begin a conversation about support.

Please designate a single student to be the primary point-of-contact for this request.
