Published by leaderadmin on September 12, 2023

Elmhurst University junior Dylan Moran died on Aug. 30. Moran was an exercise science major and a “standout athlete” on the men’s cross country team, according to President Troy VanAken in an email sent to the campus Aug. 30.

VanAken expressed his condolences on behalf of the campus community.

“We offer our deepest condolences to Dylan’s family and friends, and mourn the loss of such a young and promising life,” VanAken wrote.

VanAken also hopes campus community members will support each other during this time.

“If you know any of Dylan’s teammates, coaches, professors, family, and friends, I hope you will reach out to them with comfort and support during this profoundly difficult time,” VanAken wrote.

Those who need support can reach out to Counseling Services at 630-617-3565, the Office of Student Support Services and Intervention at 630-617-5790, the Office of the Chaplain at 630- 617-3025 (office) or 630-926-8028 (cell), or the Department of Public Safety at 630-617-3000.

In addition, all students, faculty, and staff have access to Therapy Assistance Online (TAO), an online mental health platform, and students can schedule free teletherapy with UWill.
