I am saddened to inform you of the death of an IUP student, Jacob David Adams, a freshman Criminology major from Portage, on Thursday, March 25, 2010, at a home in Cambria County.

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 Jacob's friends and family and the Criminology Department.
