I am saddened to inform you of the passing of Shawn Williams, 21, of Lucernemines (near Homer City), a student in the College of Health and Human Services. Shawn died Sunday, October 18, 2009, at his home.

Obviously the death of any member of the Ä¢¹½tv community is tragic and difficult to bear for members of the Ä¢¹½tv community. I am sure you join me in expressing concern and sympathy for Shawn's friends and family.

The Ä¢¹½tv Counseling Center provides counseling to students. Students may make an appointment by calling 724-357-2621 or by visiting the center at the Suites on Maple East, Room G31, during office hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

A twenty-four-hour crisis hotline is available at the Open Door, 724-465-2605.
