Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of a Grand Canyon University student who was found deceased today at Saguaro Residence Hall on campus. The student’s immediate family has been notified, as have his GCU suitemates, but the name of the student is not being released until extended family members have also been contacted. Due to privacy concerns, we are not releasing further information, but there is no threat to students or the campus.

The Office of Student Care is in contact with his suitemates and friends to offer support and counseling. They are also available on the second floor of Building 26 at 602-639-7007 or email [email protected] to assist any students who need support.

As the GCU family grieves the loss of one its students, we ask that you keep his family and friends in your hearts during this difficult time and know that God is always there for us.

“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7)
