In is with great sadness and sorrow, that students and faculty say goodbye to recent graduate, Aly Zain Lakdawala. Having graduated from USF on May 1st, 2009 with a degree in international studies and philosophy, Lakdawala kept up the spirit of volunteering and left on May 8th to Costa Rica to partake in a 2 week volunteering mission with the Center for Leadership and Civic Engagement. It was during this trip that Lakdawala lost his life. While swimming with other students in the Pacific Ocean near Matapalo, Lakdawala was caught in a rip tide current and went missing. Three days later, his body was discovered one mile from the shore in which he went missing from.

It is because of the great efforts and leadership shown by Lakdawala, that many students and faculty members have been saddened. As a fellow bull, close friend, and family member, Lakdawala will be missed by all, both near and far as many prepare to say goodbye or in some cases, "see you later". With such, we say Rest In Peace to Aly Zain Lakdawala and send our condolences to his family and friends. Farewell good friend!
