Rose-Hulman

An automobile accident Saturday afternoon (April 5) claimed the life of Rose-Hulman student Nicholas B. Lee, a junior biomedical engineering major from Bryan, Texas. 

Another student, Adam C. Effinger, a senior computer engineering major from Plainfield, Ind., was injured critically in the same accident.  He was lifelined to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis where he was listed in critical but stable condition this morning.  Updates on his condition can be obtained at Caring Bridge Link: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/adameffinger

The single-vehicle accident occurred on Woodsmall Road in southern Vigo County.

Both students were members of the Rose-Hulman men’s swimming team.

Special on-campus counseling services were made available for Rose-Hulman students by the Office of Student Affairs.  Students began learning about this incident upon returning from spring break (March 30 – April 6) during the weekend.

“Rose-Hulman has always been a community that rallies to assist each other in time of need, and we need to draw on that sense of community at this tragic time,” said President Gerald S. Jakubowski.
