The Tacoma Campus would like to express our sadness in the loss of such a dedicated and respected community member  Recently Jacinta had the opportunity to spend some time here on the Tacoma Campus and those of us that did not know her got the chance to see just how she exemplified the spirit of kindness and  hospitality and how truly committed to building a better community she was.  Jacinta was always quick with a kind word and somehow you knew it was genuine.  Jacinta had a gift and she loved her work.  We too are blessed to have known her.  May her sprit live on in the Evergreen community!

I am sorry to inform you that one of our own, Jacinta McKoy, performing and media arts coordinator, passed away unexpectedly last night.  This comes as a great shock to our community, as we lost one of our most beloved and dedicated colleagues.  Jacinta brought unflappable good humor and tremendous grace to her work.  We will dearly miss her heartfelt commitment to hospitality, indeed she set high standards for the Com Building.
