Virginia Tech University has awarded degrees to the victims of last month's campus shooting. During the ceremony, nine graduate students were given posthumous master's degrees or doctorates.

On April 16 a South Korean student killed 33 people before shooting himself.

President George W. Bush has issued a statement praising “the compassion and resilient spirit” of the Virginia Tech community.
