FROM THE PRESIDENT'S DESK
Dear Wright State Community,

I am saddened to report that Jeff Zentner, a programmer analyst in Computing and Telecommunications Services (CaTS), died at an area hospital due to injuries he sustained after a fall at the Dunbar Library.

Jeff’s coworkers in CaTS were informed of this news in person this afternoon.

Jeff worked at our university for nearly 25 years and received his bachelor’s degree in English from Wright State.

Please keep his family, friends, and colleagues in your thoughts.

I know that this tragedy has affected many of our students and employees.

Wright State has resources available to assist you. I encourage anyone who feels the need to reach out to these campus resources to provide you with support, compassion, and understanding.

Students can seek confidential support services through Counseling and Wellness Services by calling 937-775-3407. Walk-in services are also available at 053 Student Union from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Students can call Raider Cares, a 24-hour crisis phone service, at 937-775-4567. Students also have access to a Crisis Text Line that offers 24-hour, seven-day-a-week text contact with trained crisis counselors, by texting "LISTEN" to 741-741.

Wright State’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provides support services for all employees, regardless of benefit eligibility. EAP services are provided at no cost to employees and include 24/7 telephone access to licensed and experienced counselors, as well as work/life balance services.
