1 CommentsEarlier this afternoon, Tom Harford, Dean of General Studies, sent an email to the GS student body on the passing of student Nicole Orrtung. Nicole was a fourth-year student in the dual BA program between Columbia and Sciences Po. She studied Euro-American relations and political science. Details on a memorial service and making donations in Nicole’s honor can be found in her obituary, in the Washington Post.
The email lists contact information for Counseling and Psychological Services, the Office of the University Champlain, and the GS Dean of Studies Office. CPS will be hosting a walk-in group counseling session tomorrow (November 29), from 6 to 8pm in Fairholm Lounge.
Dear Students,
It is with sadness that I write to share with you the news of the passing of GS undergraduate student, Nicole Orttung. Born in Prague, Czech Republic, and raised in Arlington, Virginia, Nicole was in her fourth year of the Dual BA Program Between Columbia University and Sciences Po, studying Euro-American relations and political science.
We send our heartfelt condolences to Nicole’s family and friends.
Whenever we lose someone within our community, we are all affected, whether or not we know the person well. Please know that your academic advisor, the staff at Counseling and Psychological Services (CPS), and members of the Office of the University Chaplain are all available to provide you with any additional support you may need at this time. I have listed contact information for these resources below.
In addition, CPS is hosting a walk-in group counseling session tomorrow, November 29 from 6 – 8 p.m. in Fairholm Lounge, 503 West 121st Street.
A full obituary, including details on the memorial service and making donations in Nicole’s honor, was published in The Washington Post.
