Message from Chancellor: Passing of Beloved Eagle Ciara Gee By Chancellor Johnson O. Akinleye Posted July 19, 2021, 4:37 PM Dear NCCU Community: I am saddened to inform you of the passing of beloved Eagle Ciara Gee, 20, a junior kinesiology major. Ciara passed away on Sunday, July 18, 2021, in a tragic car accident. A native of Raleigh N.C., Ciara was known to be a positive influence on campus who kept her peers and friends uplifted with laughter and encouragement to pursue their academic goals. Studying toward a Bachelor of Science with a concentration in sports medicine, Ciara was dedicated to staying on track to one day reach her ultimate goal of becoming a physical therapist. I ask that we collectively keep Ciara and her loved ones - especially her mom Sharon Leonard; father Jerry Gee IV, who remains in the hospital; stepfather Michael Leonard; brother Jerry Gee V; and close family friend - in our thoughts and prayers. The Counseling Center is available for students who would like to speak with a counselor and can be reached at 919-530-6106; please ask to be connected to the counselor on duty. The Office of Spiritual Development and Dialogue also has staff available for consultation at 919-602-6967. More information regarding funeral arrangements and NCCU's campus vigil will be shared when available. In Truth and Service, Johnson O. Akinleye, Ph.D. Chancellor Visitation: Friday, August 06 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM Sanders Funeral Home Chapel 806 E Market St Smithfield, NC 27577 (919) 934-8416 Funeral Service: Saturday, August 07 2:30 PM Raleigh North Christian Center 6201 Louisburg Road Raleigh , NC

I am so very sorry to hear about Ciara passing. I worked with Ciara at Harris Teeter a couples years ago. She had such a beautiful soul. When Candice from Harris Teeter told me the awful news I cried. She was such a cutie pie. I pray that her dad heals and that her moms heart will heal some day. I will pray for your family. Love and Peace, Michelene "Mich" Yarosz
