Jacinta's joie de vivre could be felt whenever she entered a room, a building...the entire campus and throughout the local community. I'll miss her laugh, her dedication and her passion for humanity. I always thought of the 'COM' building as the "calm" building - Jacinta's spirit, warmth and joy made that such a special place.

One of our many pleasant emails she and I exchanged stands out in my mind in which Jacinta stated, "I suspect our memory is for things like our favorite chocolate or lines from our favorite poems."

Good-bye for now sweet Jacinta. Your spirit remains in our hearts!

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.
