Letter: Late COGS representative remembered for passion, love for humanity

Dear Spartan Family,  The sky over Michigan State University became a bit dimmer Wednesday as we mourn the sudden death of fellow graduate student in Chicano/Latino Studies and Curriculum, Instruction and Teacher Education, Max Monroy-Miller.  The loss of any Spartan is difficult but a sudden loss is increasingly more troublesome.  Max served as the CITE Representative for the Council of Graduate Students; his passion for justice and love for humanity were evident in all he did.
