Dear University Community:
It is with great sadness that I share with you that on Thursday, Nov. 23, 2006 Barry University tragically lost a member of our student body, Michael Mikulin, 20, from Geneva, Ohio. Michael, a junior at Barry, was a member of the men’s soccer team as well as a dedicated student majoring in management in the Andreas School of Business with a 3.38 GPA. He was a quiet leader, a great competitor and team player. Michael was well respected, sincere, generous and kind. He will be forever missed by his teammates, coaches and the university community.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held Wednesday, Nov. 29, 2006 at Assumption Church in Mike’s hometown of Geneva. Campus Ministry, Athletics and Student Affairs are working together to plan a memorial mass to be held on campus. We will inform the campus community when details have been determined.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Mikulin family, the members of the men’s soccer team and all of our students, faculty and staff who are grieving this great loss.
Sincerely,
Michael J. Griffin
Michael J. Griffin, Ed.D.
Vice President for Student Affairs
There will be a short, student-led prayer service for Mike in the chapel on Wednesday, November 29, at 11:00 am.
A memorial mass will be held on campus on Monday, December 4, 2006 at 6:00 P.M. in the Cor Jesu Chapel.
