A memorial service for Kenneth Nwannunu, the College senior who died while abroad in Shanghai on Sept. 23, is being held today at the Second Baptist Church in Pedricktown, N.J.
At the family’s request, Penn has arranged for buses to transport students to and from the service. Buses will meet outside the Spruce Street entrance of Houston Hall at 4:45 p.m.
The funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday.
Kenneth was a philosophy, politics and economics major at Penn. He was involved in parliamentary debate and was a brother of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.
He is survived by his parents, Denise Williams and John Nwannunu; sister, Florence Amara Nwannunu; and brother, Nelson Nwannunu.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to the Peace Corps’ New York regional office at 201 Varick St., Suite 1025.
