Spring Break
Several university deans sent an email to the university Saturday afternoon about Miriam Frankl who passed away early Saturday morning:
Dear Students, Faculty and Staff,
It pains us deeply to inform you of the loss today of one of our own.
Miriam Frankl, a junior in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, died early this morning of injuries suffered Friday afternoon in a hit-and-run accident on St. Paul Street.
Miriam’s parents were with her when she died. They have told us they were greatly moved and comforted by the presence of so many of Miriam’s friends at the hospital with them last night.
Every student contributes in no small measure to the community we create together at Johns Hopkins. The loss of any student, particularly in so tragic and senseless a manner, grievously wounds us all.
We know that you join us in conveying the deepest sorrow and most sincere condolences of the entire Johns Hopkins community to Miriam’s parents and family. We have offered them any assistance the university can provide.
Likewise, we stand in solidarity with her many Johns Hopkins friends and her Alpha Phi sisters at this most sad and difficult time. We ask everyone in our community to volunteer support to anyone who may need it.
Our counseling center, chaplains and peer counselors are available to anyone who wishes to talk with them about this tragic event. You may make an appointment at the Counseling Center by calling 410-516-8278. Outside of normal hours, the counselor on call may be reached through Security at 410-516-7777. Information on peer counseling at A Place to Talk is at http://www.jhu.edu/aptt/ and information on campus ministries is at http://ww2.jhu.edu/chaplain/.
President Daniels and Provost Minor join us in expressing our deepest sympathies to everyone who loved Miriam and everyone she loved. We will provide you with information when it becomes available about funeral arrangements and an on-campus memorial observance.
Sincerely,
Adam F. Falk
