Dear Students, Faculty and Staff:
I write with a heavy heart to share with you that we have lost a member of the Syracuse University community. Sarah Riddle, a senior majoring in neuroscience in the College of Arts and Sciences, passed away this weekend. Sarah was from Barboursville, West Virginia.
I, along with Chancellor Kent Syverud, send our deep sympathy and sincere condolences on behalf of the entire Syracuse University community to Sarah’s family, friends, classmates and all those close to her. We keep Sarah’s loved ones in our thoughts and prayers as they grieve her passing.
