Body Identified as Paul's

According to Grinnell Police, the body found yesterday at the Grinnell Golf & Country Club swimming pool has been identified as Paul Shuman-Moore's '09. This Des Moines Register article currently has the most up to date information on the situation.

College administrators have announced that they will host a "Grinnell College Community Discussion" tonight at 7:00 p.m. in Younker Lounge, to be facilitated by student affairs staff and the Poweshiek County Mental Health Center.

SGA also intends to host a candlelight vigil tonight at 9:30pm in the courtyard of the Joe Rosenfield Center. The vigil will proceed to the Forum South Lounge at 10:00 p.m. where SGA will host a campus-wide study break "with food and other fun things to destress" according to an email sent out by the SGA cabinet. Additionally, the email said that students will be able to sign banners to be sent to Virginia Tech "letting them know that they are in our thoughts."

If students need to talk to someone, they are urged to go to the Residence Life Coordinators or Chaplains, or attend the Walk-In Mental Health Counseling Services at the Health Center or the Poweshiek County Mental Health Center which requires appointments.

Our thoughts go out to Paul's family and friends and to the entire campus community amidst this time of grief.
