Members of the Bates College community:

Early Sunday morning, March 3, we lost Morgan McDuffee, class of ’02. Morgan’s friends, team members, student colleagues, his faculty and all of us who knew him and his accomplishments share our condolences and grief.

The facts surrounding Morgan’s death are being investigated as a homicide by the Maine State Police and Lewiston police.

Our attention now is with Morgan’s family and friends. We are deeply saddened and grieve at this terrible loss of a member of the College community.

Grief counselors are available beginning at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday and throughout the day in Hirasawa and Skelton lounges in Chase Hall.The Deans of Students and the Chaplain are also available to provide support in the midst of this tragic occurrence.
