Greetings, Hornet Nation:

It is with a heavy heart that I inform you of the passing of two of our students.

Kyndel Burroughs, a junior from Charlotte, N.C., died from injuries he suffered in an accident at his off-campus apartment. Kyndel was a member of the Mighty Marching Hornets Band.

Jada Harris, a transfer student from Ervin, Texas, died from injuries she suffered in a car accident on yesterday, August 19. Jada was beginning her first year at ASU and had dreams of becoming a Stingette.

We are deeply saddened by these tragic losses to our campus community. I ask that you keep the families of these two fallen Hornets, as well as their professors and classmates, in your prayers.

Sincerely,
President Quinton T. Ross, Jr.
