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 IUP community is tragic and difficult to bear for members of the IUP community. I am sure you join me in expressing concern and sympathy for Shawn's friends and family.
