It is with profound sadness that Wilfrid Laurier University mourns the death of Esheaka Sinera, who died on May 11, 2020. Sinera was a fourth-year Computer Science co-op student and a community leader.

Sinera was a member of the Muslim Student Association and an inspirational leader with the Laurier Muslim chaplaincy. The Dean of Students will be connecting with Sinera’s family to offer support and to extend heartfelt sympathy on behalf of the Laurier community.

Selda Sezen, Laurier Muslim Chaplain, said that Sinera was known as a Hafiz who knew the Qur’an by heart. To honour Sinera, Sezen has announced an opportunity for reflection after Friday’s prayer. For more details please contact ssezen@wlu.ca.

Losing a student has a significant impact on the Laurier community. Those who need assistance are encouraged to access the following services:
