DENVER — Regis University has canceled all classes on Wednesday.
The north Denver university said all classes Wednesday are canceled following the deaths of two students.
"Due to the sad news of a student's passing [Tuesday] and the death of another student over the weekend who was studying overseas, all classes will be canceled for [Wednesday] so that we can gather and mourn these terrible losses," Regis University President Salvador D. Aceves said.
Regis University said a vigil has been scheduled for 1 p.m. Wednesday in the St. Francis Regis Chapel. The chapel will be open all day Wednesday for those who wish to pray and seek support and comfort.
The university said students can contact the Counseling Services at Hcc@regis.edu or find an appointment time on the schedule. The Health and Counseling Center at Coors Center is also available to Regis students by contacting 303-458-3558.
