Boris Kodikov, a first-year AUBG student, has passed away around 1 p.m. on Oct. 9, 2014, after falling from the balcony of the ABF Student Center. AUBG's President Kevin Aspegren confirmed this information, at a meeting held for students, faculty and staff in BAC's Auditorium at 2:30 p.m. on the same day.
The parents of the student have been notified. More information will be provided by the University when they have it. A press release has been sent out to the media.
A number of faculty and staff have offered their offices or other venues on campus as a safe place for anybody in need of counseling to visit. AUBG's administration urged anybody who needs counseling to visit a faculty member, a staff member, a peer counselor.
Classes are cancelled on Thursday and Friday. A candlelight vigil was held on Thursday, at 7:30 p.m. in the courtyard of Skaptopara II.
AUBG Daily will not be publishing stories in the next few days with respect to the tragic event.
