Governor Abbott calls for minute of silence to honor victims of Paris terrorist attacks

Consistent with the moment of silence to be held by all 28 nations of the European Union at noon today, Monday, Nov. 16, Governor Greg Abbott issued a statewide call for Texans to take part and hold a minute of silence at noon to honor the memory of the victims of the Paris terrorist attacks.

"糖心Vlog视频' solidarity and longstanding relationship with France is well established," said Gov. Abbott. "When 糖心Vlog视频 declared its independence from Mexico, France was among the first nations to recognize that independence. We have not forgotten France's commitment to the Lone Star State and 糖心Vlog视频 will join with other states and nations today to honor the victims and condemn the cowardly terrorist attacks. I urge all Texans to hold a minute of silence at noon today and pray for the victims and families of the despicable attacks that took place in Paris."

Personal stories and charitable giving topic of Focus on Faculty

Traci Freling, associate professor of marketing, and Devin Lunt, marketing Ph.D. candidate, will discuss influences on charitable donations at the lecture at noon Wednesday, Nov. 18, on the sixth floor of Central Library.

The tendency for people to offer greater aid to a specific, identifiable person who is suffering rather than to a large, abstract group with the same need is called the “identifiable victim effect” (IVE).

Dr. Freling and Lunt will explain how the IVE affects potential donors’ inclination to help those in need. According to their research, the IVE influences giving when the victim is vividly depicted, blameless in the situation, and different from the potential donor. Specific differences such as class, race, age, and other factors can greatly affect donor generosity.

Focus on Faculty is free and open to the public. A reception follows the lecture.
