UWP Lecturers Former graduate student - sad news

[Traise Yamamoto]

Dear All,

I write with the sad news that a former graduate student in our department, Melinda Hsu, died 12 April 2010.  Circumstances are unclear, though her death was described as "sudden."  A memorial service will be held at Pacific Palisades Presbyterian Church, 15 May, at 4:00 pm   She was a longtime fan of the singer Morrissey, and he wrote a tribute to her, which you can find on the web.
