President Daniel Weiss addressed the following message to the Lafayette campus community this afternoon:
I am very sorry to report that a member of our College family, Daniel Patrick O’Neil, Class of 2006, lost his life in yesterday’s massacre at Virginia Tech.
Dan graduated last May with a B.S. in civil engineering and was enrolled in a graduate program in environmental engineering at Virginia Tech.
It is difficult to find words to express the deep sense of loss in our community. The sympathy of all members of our College family is with this young man’s family in this tragic hour.
The College will remember the life of Dan O’Neil at a campus memorial service that is now being planned.
