It is with great sadness that we share with the UConn community the passing of one of our students, Sarah Dinh. Sarah was a first year, Hartford campus student in CLAS majoring in Mathematics, Actuarial, and Finance. She was from South Windsor Connecticut.
At this point in time we don’t have information about services for Sarah. Condolences to the Dinh family can be sent to the Dean of Students Office, 233 Glenbrook Road, Unit-4062, Storrs, Connecticut 06269-4062.
Sending the news of the loss of another student so quickly is difficult and we recognize that community members may experience a range of emotions which are difficult to navigate.
