JACKSON- The Millsaps Majors came together to hold a Day Of Peace to honor those affected by the tragedies at the Boston Marathon and Sandy Hook Elementary on Tuesday. 

Included in the activities was a Run for Boston held on Tuesday afternoon. Athletes, coaches and students came together to run, an act of solidarity to those injured during the marathon. 

Also included in the Day of Peace is a candlelight vigil held around the Millsaps Fountain at the front of campus. 

The idea of the Day of Peace was originated by Majors Kasey Laird and Raven Scott. The student-athletes wanted to do something to show strength and solidarity in the face of tragedy.
