Statement from Evergreen College, Washington:
Source: http://www.evergreen.edu/news/mar03/rachelcorrie.htm
It is with the heaviest of hearts that I inform you that Rachel Corrie was killed on Sunday, March 16, while trying to stop a bulldozer from tearing down a building in a refugee camp in Gaza. Rachel, a senior at Evergreen, was most recently a student in "Labor and the Environment," "Common Ground," "Local Knowledge" and a contract entitled "Public Art and the Middle East Conflict." She was not enrolled this quarter. Rachel was known to many in the Olympia community. She grew up here and graduated from Capital High School. She was actively involved in many area activities. Rachel is described by faculty and staff as a shining star, a wonderful student and a brave person of deep convictions. Rachel will be remembered at a gathering sponsored by the International Solidarity Movement at 7 p.m. on Sunday, March 16, at Olympia's downtown Percival Landing.
We have been in contact with and extend deepest condolences to the Corrie family. We are in the process of contacting the many faculty members with whom Rachel worked. As more information about memorial services becomes available, we will share it with you.
