UConn admits Florida school shooting victim posthumously

[EricLA]

Very nice story about the young 14 year old boy who died in the Florida school shooting and wanted to attend UCONN (his mother and cousin were alumni).

Alex Schachter, a teen who died in a mass shooting at a Florida high school this month, dreamed of attending the University of Connecticut. But while his life was cut short, the college recently made sure he'd be a Husky forever.

In a Feb. 21 letter, UConn admissions director Nathan Fuerst offered Schachter, 14, posthumous admission as a music major.

That's very cool and a classy way for the Universities to help honor those kids...
