Statement from President John W. Mills - 2009-10-30

On Friday, October 30, a member of our community, Abigail Pruitt, was killed in an automobile accident. Our entire community is tremendously saddened by the loss of Abigail, a sophomore in our environmental science program. Our deepest sympathies go out to her friends and family.

Our thoughts are also with Vincent Monty, a fellow student who was seriously injured in the accident. Vincent, also a sophomore, is a member of our surveying program. We are hopeful for his recovery.

The coming days will be difficult and we will do everything possible to ease the pain that we each share. Our staff counselors will be available to help the community through this time.
