Terry community mourns students

The Terry College community was heartbroken to learn of the four UGA students whose lives were lost in a tragic car accident on April 28.

The wreck claimed the lives of Kayla Canedo, 19, a second-year psychology major from Alpharetta; Brittany Feldman, 20, a second-year human development and family science major from Alpharetta; Christina Semeria, 19, a second-year exercise and sports science major from Milton; and Halle Scott, 19, a third-year marketing major from Dunwoody. Agnes Kim, 21, a marketing major from Snellville scheduled to graduate this May, remains in critical condition at Athens Regional Medical Center.

News of the incident gripped campus, where more than 1,000 students, family, faculty and staff gathered at the Tate Student Center to hold a vigil for the victims.

“In my 31 years as a faculty member and administrator at the University of Georgia, I cannot recall a time when we’ve suffered a loss of this magnitude,” said UGA President Jere W. Morehead. “The loss of any student is very difficult. A tragedy of this magnitude is truly devastating.”

The entire Terry community holds their families and friends in its thoughts and prayers and hopes for Agnes’ full recovery.
