This morning, a student in the first-year class was hit by a car while crossing Washington Street. Vice President for College Life Anne Ehrlich sent out an email to the campus community detailing what had occurred.
“The student was seriously injured and has been transported to a hospital for care. The family has been notified and are on their way to be with their student,” Ehrlich said.
Ehrlich gave the contact information for Counseling and Wellness Services if community members wanted to talk to someone for support.
“Counseling and Wellness Services is offering extended drop-in hours through 10pm tonight,” Ehrlich said. “We will provide an update later today about additional Counseling resources that will be available throughout the weekend. You can also reach a Counselor on call outside these hours by calling Campus Safety at 717-337-6911 and asking to be connected with the Counselor on call.”
In the afternoon, Ehrlich sent out an email updating the campus community on the student’s condition.
“I am delighted to share that—after some recovery time—it appears our student is going to be fine,” Ehrlich said.
