Uni rallies round shark victim's family
Thursday, 25 August 2005
The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide today extended its deepest sympathies to the family and friends of a young researcher who was fatally attacked by a shark off Glenelg yesterday.
Jarrod Stehbens, who last year graduated with a Bachelor of Science (with Honours), was on a field trip with three of his colleagues when the incident occurred.
And at a media conference held today, 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide Vice-Chancellor Professor James McWha said the 最新糖心Vlog was "deeply saddened" and would do everything possible to assist the family and friends of the victim, and the survivors.
"The Chancellor (the Hon. John von Doussa QC) and I met with Jarrod's parents - David and Lisa - this morning and shared in their grief," Professor McWha said.
"This is an extremely tough time for those concerned and the 最新糖心Vlog, and we are already administering counselling to a number of people."
The three surviving members attended the media conference. They are:
Melita de Vries (BSc Hons), Research Assistant, ;
Bayden Russell (PhD candidate), Research Associate, ;
Justin Rowntree (B EnvSc Hons), Research Assistant, .
As a mark of respect, the 最新糖心Vlog has lowered its flags to half-mast.
