Subject: Student Deaths
From: President
To: Campus and Community
I am deeply saddened to inform you of the deaths of two of our
students. Christopher W. Herrmann, a junior pre-business major, died
Friday night, and Cole Eugene Bryan, a freshman, died yesterday.
Our hearts go out to their family and friends. Losing a student is
terribly difficult whenever it happens, but it strikes us particularly
hard at this time of year. We care very much about every one of our
students, so we all share in the grief. The Counseling Center is
available to meet with anyone who wishes to talk about these deaths.
We will all work together to get through this difficult time.
When we have further information about memorial services, we will pass
that along to you.
I was concered about receiving one of these e-mail last night when a train halted to a stop @ 11:30pm..
Although I had no personal connection to these two students, I understand what a loss like this feels like. This is sad.
