Megan Cartier, a doctoral candidate in Syracuse University’s School of Education, has died, a university official announced in a campus-wide email Thursday afternoon.

Originally from Lowville, NY, Cartier was pursuing her Ph.D. in special education after earning a certificate of advanced study in disability studies in the School of Education, according to the email.

“Megan was closely connected to the community in the School of Education, and we know there are many faculty, staff, fellow doctoral students and undergraduates who she supported as a teaching assistant who are also grieving her passing,” wrote Allen Groves, senior vice president and chief student experience officer, in the email.
