It's with deep sadness that we share the passing of one of our undergraduate students, Luke MacDonald [1]. Luke would have entered his third year in environmental sciences this fall. He was also a proud member of the University of Guelph Gryphon Rugby team. 

A celebration of life will take place in Toronto on Thursday, Aug. 18. Campus flags will be lowered to half-mast on that day in Luke’s honour.
