Colleagues,

I am sorry to inform you of the death of Dylan James Harris, a junior finance major from Downingtown. Dylan died Sunday, August 25.

The James J. Terry Funeral Home has announced memorial arrangements, which include a Celebration of Life for Dylan on Saturday, September 14, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at St. Anthony's Lodge, 259 Church Street, Downingtown. Friends are invited to offer remembrances and condolences on an online tribute wall.

The death of someone you knew can evoke strong feelings. The best way to cope is to talk to your closest friends, family members, or trusted teachers. There are people among us who have experienced similar events, and they are often more than willing to help others going through difficult circumstances.

Students who would like to speak with a counselor may call 724-357-2621 or visit the Counseling Center in the Rhonda H. Luckey Center for Health and Well-Being, Suites on Maple East. Walk-in hours at the Counseling Center are from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Counselors are available for crisis appointments and consultation and to offer guidance and support during difficult times.

Members of IUP's Council on Spiritual and Religious Life also are available. Please call 724-357-2220 or email spiritual-life@iup.edu to have a campus minister provide support.

Sincerely,
Michael A. Driscoll
President
