Missing Person: Nicholas Garza

One of the first-year students on our campus has unfortunately been missing now for two weeks. In order to assist in keeping his vital information circulating, I will post the basic information and links below. My thoughts are with his family, friends and fellow students, during this difficult time.

Nick vanished while walking the short distance from a friend's dormitory to his own at approximately 11:00pm on Tuesday, Feb 5th. It was poor weather, and it is believed Nicholas did not have a coat on. There have been no phone calls, e-mails, or monetary transactions from any of his accounts.

Anyone with information regarding Nick's whereabouts
is encouraged to call the
Middlebury Police Dept. at 802-388-3181.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, Nick's body was recovered from the Otter Creek in Middlebury. As the cause of Nick's death is still a mystery, you are still encouraged to contact the Middlebury Police with any relevant information regarding Nick. There will be a campus memorial service when students return in the fall. Our hearts go out to the Garza family.
