To honor the victims and survivors of the shooting , UNC Charlotte developed " Niner Nation Remembers , " a permanent online memorial and archive . The university further formed a 14-member Remembrance Commission . Headed by Emily Zimmern , a past president and CEO of the Levine Museum of the New South , the Commission included faculty , staff , alumni , and student body representatives along with leaders in the greater Charlotte community , Reed Parlier 's uncle , and two current members of the university staff and faculty who had been at Virginia Tech at the time of the 2007 shooting . Among the Commission 's objectives was deciding how best to memorialize the shooting and its victims , along with deciding the future of the Kennedy Building , which after the shooting and subsequent investigation was kept open for university personnel . According to Dubois , the commission would begin by seeking input from the victims ' families , along with holding public sessions with the UNC Charlotte and the greater Charlotte community
