Dear Wright State Community,
I am saddened to report that Jeff Zentner, a programmer analyst in Computing and Telecommunications Services (CaTS), died at an area hospital due to injuries he sustained after a fall at the Dunbar Library.
Jeff’s coworkers in CaTS were informed of this news in person this afternoon.
Jeff worked at our university for nearly 25 years and received his bachelor’s degree in English from Wright State.
Please keep his family, friends, and colleagues in your thoughts.
I know that this tragedy has affected many of our students and employees.
