Message to the Advising Community: Remembering Ruth George and Resources to Support the Community
Dear Advising Community Members,
During this difficult time of loss as we honor and remember Ruth George, a student in kinesiology and an Honors College member, our deepest sympathies go out to Ruth's family, friends, and to our students, faculty, and staff. We know that Ruth's contributions to our community are cherished and will be remembered by all.
Supplies for making sympathy cards and offering condolences will be available in the Academic Support & Achievement Program (ASAP) at 356 PEB today, and messages for Ruthie's family can be dropped off in the Kinesiology and Nutrition Department office at 337 PEB.
