Dear Lincoln Family,

The Lincoln University community is saddened by the loss of one of our students, Anthony V. Washington.  Anthony of Forest Hills, New York died in a tragic car accident on Friday evening, November 4, 2011. Anthony was a Senior Business major and was actively involved in the Lincoln community.  He was elected by his peers as the 2011-12 Mr. Legacy.  In addition, he was the President of Epsilon Epsilon Chapter of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Incorporated.  He was also a member of Boys to Men Mentoring group, had served as a Resident Advisor and was the former King for STARS (Sisters That Are Respected Seriously).

We appreciate your continued prayers and support for our students Phillip E. Tomsic from Grand Junction, MI and Kadeem Fulmore from Rochester, New York.  They were injured in the same accident and are hospitalized at Crozer Chester Medical Center in Chester, Pennsylvania.  Philip Tomsic is a Senior Criminal Justice major, a member of the Baseball Team, a Student Leader Ambassador and a member of Ziana Fashion Club.  Kadeem is a Senior Business major and a member of Epsilon Epsilon Chapter of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Incorporated.  He is also Student Assistant in the Men’s Center and the Office of Admissions.

Funeral services for Anthony will be held on Thursday, November 10, 2011 at Christ The King Church, 145-39 Farmers Boulevard, Springfield Gardens, New York (Viewing at 9 a.m.-12 noon; Mass at 12 noon-1 p.m.).  The Division of Student Affairs is providing transportation. See details below:

1. For those students, faculty and staff who signed up, the buses will depart promptly at 6:00 a.m. from the Manuel Rivera Gymnasium.
2. Students are required to present a valid Lincoln student ID to board the bus.
3. Flowers and cards should be sent to Christ The King Church located at 145-39 Farmers Boulevard, Springfield Gardens, New York 11434.  

This is a great shock to the Lincoln University community and our continued thoughts and prayers are with the families, students, faculty and staff of Lincoln University.

Sincerely,
