Renee and Michael McGregor are still dedicated to helping the MSU community after their daughter passed away last fall.

Accounting senior Morgan McGregor passed away suddenly on Sept. 27, while she was celebrating at a homecoming tailgate with her friends.

Around 4 p.m., McGregor went upstairs and experienced a sudden cardiac event. No harsh environmental changes were involved in her death, nor were alcohol or drugs.

Morgan McGregor had a pacemaker and previous heart problems, but her sudden death was inexplicable.

“We believe she passed quickly, without pain, suffering or fear. She is missed by so many and always will be,” the McGregors said in an email.

Her parents did not receive the exact information regarding McGregor’s death from medical officials until after Thanksgiving, two months after she passed away.

Renee and Michael McGregor helped organize many memorial services with Morgan’s sorority, Pi Beta Phi and have set up two scholarship funds in her name.

The “Morgan McGregor Endowed Memorial Scholarship” was established by the McGregors and the Pi Beta Phi sorority.

It is an annual scholarship geared toward helping members of the greek community. Students will be able to apply for the scholarship beginning in the spring of 2016 for award and use during the 2016 fall term.

A supplemental scholarship has also been set up by McGregor’s parents, as a one-time award for the fall 2015 term. It was designed to bridge the time before the memorial scholarship took effect and geared toward the Pi Beta Phi community.

“We wanted to make sure someone who knew Morgan will get that scholarship,” Michael McGregor, Morgan McGregor’s father, said.

Morgan will be granted a posthumous bachelor’s degree from the Eli Broad College of Business at MSU commencement in May, which her parents will accept.
