Dear UAF faculty, staff and students,
I was saddened to learn that two of our students, Oakley Powell and Cassidy Musard, passed away in a car accident this week.
Both Cassidy and Oakley worked for UAF as resident assistants and were honors college
students who served on the Honors Student Advisory Council. Oakley was a senior majoring
in mechanical engineering and had been elected to serve as an ASUAF senator this fall.
Cassidy was a junior majoring in biological sciences and a URISE scholar. Our condolences
go to their families, as well as to the staff, faculty and students who knew them.
If you or someone you know is struggling with this loss, please don’t struggle alone.
