Colgate mourned the loss of junior Luke Stalker, who passed away on Monday, March 10 after falling from the balcony of a Paris hotel where he had been traveling with the Geneva study group. An investigation done by the French authorities deemed Stalker’s death to be accidental, as reported by Will Hazzard.
