Beloved Bereans,
It is with great sadness that I write to inform you of sad news about the sudden death of Joshua Grooms, a student from West Union, Ohio. At this time, family members have been notified and other details are still being processed. When other pertinent information becomes available, it will be shared in a timely manner.
We extend our prayers and sincerest sympathy to the family and friends of Joshua at this tragic time.
If needed, students, faculty, and staff may contact trained members of the Campus Christian Center(x-3926) and of Counseling Services (x-3212), who are available to provide opportunities to talk about thoughts and feelings in response to this tragic loss.
In the meantime, I encourage all members of our campus community to show the kind of love and support to each other for which Berea is well known and to lift up the Grooms family in your thoughts and prayers.
In sorrow,
President Roelofs
