In Memory: Sydney Lohr

Dear Laurentian community,

I write with the devastating and painful news that Sydney Lohr ’24, from Buffalo, NY, died this past weekend from a tragic accident in her hometown area.

A Psychology and Government double major, Sydney studied abroad in Australia during the spring 2023 semester. Sydney was dedicated to the Chi-Omega sorority serving as a Panhellenic Council delegate. She was also a member of the Pre-Law Club, and the Humane Society, and was involved in the St. Lawrence University Vote Everywhere initiative in collaboration with the Andrew Goodman Foundation. 

Sydney’s family and close friends will need our support, and as a close-knit community, I know that we will answer that call as Laurentians.

There are many resources available for students who need support or simply want someone to talk with at this difficult time, including:

• Chaplain’s office
• Student Life
• Counseling Services
• Any student, regardless of location, may call our crisis/consultation line (315-229-1914) which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or contact counseling services at 315-229-5392, and consultations can be arranged to connect you with resources.
• Additional crisis resources
   

We will plan to celebrate Sydney’s memory with a community gathering this fall and encourage her friends, classmates, and teachers to share memories and read reflections on the memorial website.

With my sympathy,

Kate Morris
