UAA’s Turning Point USA chapter held a memorial for Charlie Kirk at the Wendy Williamson Auditorium on Sept. 25. More than 500 people attended.
Kirk, who founded Turning Point USA, was assassinated in Utah on Sept. 10. The organization aims to promote conservative perspectives on college campuses.
The event was scheduled at the Student Union Den but was relocated to the Wendy Williamson Auditorium due to the larger-than-expected attendance, according to a university police officer at the event.
