PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Brown’s president says the university community is profoundly saddened by the death of a 21-year-old student who never returned from a duck-hunting trip in Massachusetts.
In a campus-wide message Monday, President Christina Paxson remembered Dana Dourdeville of Marion, Mass., as an active student who served as a teaching assistant for an introductory engineering course and co-president of Brown’s Engineers Without Borders. He was also active in a student group that offers science and engineering enrichment for Providence high school students.
She said Dourdeville ran cross-country his freshman year but opted not to compete after one season to devote more time to academic interests.
