As our community continues to grapple with the tragic deaths of three members of the NC State University family, a funeral service and a candlelight vigil will be held on the NC State campus today to remember, honor and celebrate the lives of Deah Barakat, Yusor Abu-Salha and Razan Abu-Salha.
The NC State community is pleased to welcome and support the many thousands of guests who will be visiting our campus today and this evening.
Funeral Service at Method Road Soccer Complex
The funeral service will be hosted by the Islamic Association of Raleigh at the Method Road Soccer Complex at 514 Method Road in Raleigh on the western edge of campus. The service is open to the public. The call to prayer will begin at 1:15 p.m. The daily prayer is scheduled to begin at 1:35 p.m. followed by the funeral service prayer.
Several thousand people are expected to attend the service. The NC State campus community is encouraged to use Wolfline routes 2,4, and 11 to get to the Method Road Soccer Complex, as parking is limited
