A memorial for Murry Foust will be held on Wednesday, June 3, from 5:00-6:30 p.m. in the Corbett Lobby inside the NKU Fine Arts Center, according to an email from President Cady Short-Thompson.

Foust’s body was found recently, ending a weeks-long search after she disappeared near Wilder, Kentucky.

“This memorial is open to everyone who participated in the search and has showed support for Murry,” Short-Thompson said. 

People attending the memorial “will have the opportunity to share their thoughts and memories of Murry before their diploma is presented to the family,” the email said.

Short-Thompson said she knows this is a difficult time for students, faculty and staff. She encouraged anyone struggling with Foust’s passing to seek support from NKU’s provided resources.

For students, the Counseling Services team and supportive services provide 24-hour crisis support, which can be contacted by calling 859-572-5650. There is also NKU’s Togetherall portal, which gives online peer support. The national crisis line is available by calling or texting 988. 

For faculty and staff, the University Wellness has the Employee Assistance Program through Aetna. It offers online resources and counselors who are available anytime.

“This continues to be a tough time for all of us at NKU. Please join us Wednesday if you can,” Short-Thompson said.
