Shannon Giles, a graduate student in Syracuse University’s Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics, recently died, an SU administrator wrote in a campus-wide email Friday.

Giles was pursuing a master’s degree in social work through Falk’s online graduate program, wrote Allen Groves, senior vice president and chief student experience officer. She lived in Coventry, Rhode Island, with her husband and sons.
