Update to yesterday’s tragic losses

Dear Marquette community,

As we continue to mourn and grieve last night’s loss of two Marquette University students, I am writing to share with you some additional information.

The two students were Noah Snyder and Scott Michaud, both student-athletes on the Marquette men’s lacrosse team. Both Noah and Scott were strong students, being named to the BIG EAST All-Academic Team in their first year at Marquette for maintaining a 3.0 grade point average.

Noah was a student in the College of Business Administration. He was one of six children and hailed from Getzville, New York.

Scott was a biomedical sciences major in the College of Health Sciences. He is survived by two brothers and was from Springboro, Ohio.

Please keep Noah and Scott’s parents, siblings and families, and the Marquette Athletics and college communities in your prayers. Noah and Scott’s lives were taken too soon and we share in the heartbreak of their teammates, coaches and those who knew them personally.

To better accommodate the campus community, today’s Mass at 1 p.m. has been moved to the Varsity Theatre. As a reminder, the Lunda Room and Henke Lounge in the AMU will be available from noon to 3 p.m. for Marquette community members to come together.

Counseling services and pastoral support are available on campus for all faculty, staff and students.

  • Members of the university’s Counseling Center and Campus Ministry are available to provide support services to students for coping with grief and loss. Counseling Center staff are available 24/7 by calling (414) 288-7172.
  • The Marquette Employee Assistance Program is available 24/7 for all employees and members of their households. You may reach LifeMatters by calling 1-800-634-6433 or through their website. Use Password: MU1.
    • EAP is on site with two counselors Monday, Sept. 8, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in AMU 254. No appointment is necessary. Employees are encouraged to come in small groups, with a co-worker or alone, whatever is most comfortable.

God bless you all.

Sincerely, 

Dr. Kimo Ah Yun 
President
