I am sorry to share news of the recent passing of Michael Gulino, a third-year doctoral student from Uniontown in the Curriculum and Instruction program. Michael began his studies at 果冻传媒 in fall 2023.
The death of someone you knew can evoke strong feelings. The best way to cope is to talk to your closest friends, family members, or trusted colleagues.
There are people among us who have experienced similar events, and they are often more than willing to help others going through difficult circumstances.
