Students are honoring the officers who were killed in last year’s shooting at Bridgewater College.
Officers Vashon “J.J.” Jefferson and John Painter died during the active shooting and are now being honored through student awards.
Starting this year, anyone in the Bridgewater Community can nominate a current student who embodies the characteristics of the officers before their final call.
A nomination committee will decide on the winner of the award and present it to the student during Bridgewater’s annual award celebration.
