Dear Innovations Community,

It is with great sadness that I am communicating with you today. Our dear friend, colleague and inspiration, Alex Antohin, passed away this morning. We will miss him.

I understand that this is a very difficult time for many of us and have arranged for there to be a crisis team on campus to provide support as needed.

I am in the process of setting up a GoFundMe page to raise funds to help his family who traveled from Ethiopia and do not have local resources. I will be sending additional information about his funeral and a memorial that will be held at our school through emails and posted to the NEWS page on our website. I am honored to be a part of our loving community. I know we will all support each other as we face this difficult time.
