Sept. 15 Memorial Planned for Religious Studies Student Jordan Slusher

A memorial is scheduled in honor of Jordan Slusher, a religious studies student in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences who died this summer. The memorial will be at 6:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 15, at Cone University Center, McKnight Hall.

James Tabor, chair of religious studies, will open the memorial. Students and faculty will share their memories of Slusher, a religious studies major and honors student. The gathering will conclude with a walk to the Belk Tower where participants will light candles in remembrance.

Jordan was scheduled to graduate in December. He had traveled to Israel to participate in an archaeological dig with a group from Charlotte last year. He also was active in the Student Ambassador Association, Ratio Christi, Honors College and Intramural Sports.
