An American River College student died after she experienced a medical emergency on campus in a dance class and was taken by ambulance on March 30.
“Sadly, the student’s situation was critical, and we were heartbroken to learn that she did not survive,” Lisa Cardoza, ARC president said in an email to the ARC community.
Cardoza has been in contact with the student’s family and will share more information as she is permitted.
“From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank everyone who responded to the entire situation with care and urgency,” Cardoza said.
During this time of grief, the ARC Health and Wellness Center is an available resource for students on campus or online. Faculty and staff also have free access to confidential support at the Los Rios Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
