Dear JCSU family and friends,

As you know earlier this week, we announced the sad news about the passing of one of our own, Tiwanna "Koko" Hagans. To that end, the University will hold a candlelight vigil in her memory at 7:30 p.m. Monday, October 5, 2009, on the plaza area in front of the Historic Biddle Hall and KoKo Mo's Coffee Shop. Candles will be provided to those who participate.

Also, Hagans' funeral will be held noon, Tuesday, October 6, 2009, at University Park Baptist Church. The family hour will be from 11 a.m. until noon.

For more information, please contact Benny L. Smith, Director of Public Relations, at 704-378-1032.
