BLOOMSBURG (AP) – Bloomsburg University officials say a 77-year-old political science professor collapsed at the start of her class and died.
The Press-Enterprise reports students in Gloria Cohen-Dion’s seminar on writing the Constitution called 911 and went looking for other faculty when she fell Monday night.
Political science department Chairman Harry “Neil” Strine IV says another professor carried her to a waiting ambulance gurney.
Philosophy professor Wendy Lynne Lee says Cohen-Dion had taught at the university for 20 years and had been planning on retiring, with plans to direct her attention to research and volunteer work raising awareness about sex trafficking.
The cause of death was not immediately known. A funeral service was scheduled for today in Southampton.
