We would like to share that the student who was in a train accident last week is in stable condition. We deeply appreciate the outpouring of care and concern for the student and everyone impacted. Out of respect for the student’s privacy, we will not share additional medical information. Our thoughts remain with the student, and we are grateful to everyone who has reached out with compassion, kindness, and prayers.
