To the University Community:
 
We don’t really know what happened to freshman Kelly Jones in the early morning hours yesterday.
 
However, we do know this:  Kelly Jones was an extraordinary young woman who loved her many friends, her classes, and life.  
 
She was an excellent student, and she was always ready to turn classroom lessons into life experiences.
 
Kelly was a world traveler, who already had visited 22 countries and loved the diversity of people and ideas she discovered on our campus.
 
The death of this young woman makes no sense to any of us. All we can do now is express our deepest condolences to those who knew and loved her.  
 
Please join her family and friends at a celebration of Kelly's life on Tuesday, April 8 at 9:30 p.m. outside of Hecht Residential College, where Kelly loved to sit with her friends.
