Campus continues to mourn the loss of Katherine Modell — a sophomore whose friends called her quick to laugh, energetic and loving — after she was found dead in a Dickinson Community residential building late Wednesday night.

“She was a proud member of CoRE and a Zombie Student Association member,” said Matt Leonen, a close friend of Modell and a senior majoring in biology. “I’ll always remember her as a brave girl who loved to laugh.”

According to B-Line, Modell died of an apparent suicide.

The University Counseling Center is reaching out to anybody struggling with the loss of Modell, who preferred to go by Katie. The counseling center can be reached at (607) 777-2772 during business hours, or by dialing 911 to have police refer students to counselors on nights and weekends.

Editor’s Note: Pipe Dream intends to publish a full obituary honoring the life and spirit of Katherine Modell after her close friends and family have been given an appropriate amount of time to grieve. We extend our deepest sympathies to everyone who knew and loved Katie.
