Dear Wake Forest Community,

I am saddened to inform you that Randy Runyan, a member of the Class of 2015, died Wednesday in an automobile accident in Fort Thomas, Kentucky.

We extend our condolences to his family and fellow students, as well as faculty and staff who knew him.  His passing is a loss for the entire Wake Forest community.  May Randy’s family and friends find comfort and support as they grieve his loss and remember his life.

Randy was well known as an accomplished, dedicated student with a double major in psychology and sociology.  He was in the honors program in psychology and had expressed an interest in pursuing graduate studies in social psychology following graduation here in 2015.

The University will share information on services arranged by Randy’s family when that information is available.

Each of us is affected by loss in different ways.  Wake Forest offers support and counseling services for all students, faculty and staff.  The Counseling Center (118 Reynolda Hall) may be reached at 758-5273 and the Office of the Chaplain (22 Reynolda Hall) may be contacted at 758-5210.  For faculty and staff, there is also the Employee Assistance Program at 716-5493.  Please do not hesitate to seek support.

Sincerely,

Nathan O. Hatch
President
