Griffin Loranger, a third-year Northeastern student studying computer science and cognitive psychology at the Boston campus from Maine, passed away on April 15, according to school officials and an obituary posted online. He was just 21 years old.
Griffin had a passion for research and worked as an IT Projects Intern at Sappi, a paper and forest product manufacturing company. He also participated in a Dialogue of Civilizations program in London, where he explored his interest in history.
In addition to his academic pursuits, Griffin was involved in Northeastern’s Athletic Department as a camera operator for Division I sporting events. He was also a member of NUTV, a video production club on campus, and enjoyed playing mahjong in a student club.
Griffin’s vibrant personality and sense of humor brought joy to the NUTV community. According to Dean Elizabeth Mynatt of Khoury College of Computer Sciences, counseling services are available for Northeastern students and staff who are grieving his loss through the University of Health and Counseling Services, the Center for Spirituality, Dialogue, and Service, and WeCare.
