News In-Depth Pays Tribute

On Friday, January 23rd, GW lost a fellow Colonial. Laura Treanor was a junior journalism student from Yorktown, NY. She was member of Phi Sigma Sigma a contributing editor for the Hatchet and a lector at the Newman Catholic Center. On January 25th, WRGW's News In-Depth with Jared Pliner and Jesse Regis presented a tribute to honor the life of Laura Treanor.

For the hour, Pliner and Regis examined the life of the 19-year old and how her sudden death cast a cloud of grief over the university.

Lisners from as far away as Chicago, London and even Denmark sent in their thoughts, memories and prayers.  Some of Laura's sorority sisters from Phi Sigma Sigma were on hand for the special tribute.

Monday night mourners flooded the Charles E. Smith Center for a memorial service in Laura's honor.  On Tuesday night, the Newman Catholic Center held a memorial mass.
