In Memoriam
Shea Louise Haley ‘04 (B.A. Com- munication & Media Studies), a former intern at WSB-TV and free- lance production assistant on the “An- drew Young Presents” television series, passed away at home on April 7, 2015. At the time of her death, Haley was employed as a bus driver for Gwinnett County Public Schools, a job she enjoyed and a responsibility she took seriously. She especially liked the children. She also took part in recent interviews with Rev. Willie Bolden, a former Civil Rights leader who worked with Martin Luther King Jr., and she had transcribed recordings of those sessions for his upcoming au- tobiography.
Lauren J. Lamar (Attended August 2008-Decemer 2013) Our thoughts are with the family of Lauren Lamar, whose body was found at Matheson Hammock Marina in Miami, FL, this past May. She was previously reported missing after her boating companions allegedly returned from Biscayne Bay and discovered she was no longer on the boat. Lamar was working as an event promoter in Miami at the time. Lamar studied Psychology & Human Services at Clayton State University.
