On March 24,  the University Chaplain, Gary Brower, shared the news of the death of first year student, Jared Lipson.

According to the email released to the DU community, “Jared [Lipson] was in his first year at DU, and had already made a positive impact on his FSEM cohort and his residential hall community. On campus, he was actively involved with the Learning Effectiveness Program and the Disability Services Program. In addition, Jared was active in the Alpine Club and Ultimate Frisbee.”

Services for Lipson were held on Friday March 25 at DU’s Ruffatto Hall.

The university emphasized their sympathy to Lipson’s family and friends and Brower reminded the DU community to contact and utilize the Health and Counseling Center or Office of Religious and Spiritual Life if needed during this tragic time.
