Senior Scott Schmitt died Aug. 28, a year before completing his education at MU this spring.
Schmitt, from St. Louis, was a political science major and was working on a journalism minor. His father, John Schmitt, said he planned on attending graduate or possibly law school.
“He was getting ready for life after Mizzou,” Schmitt said.
Schmitt said his son was considering taking the LSAT. He was also considering a career in radio or broadcast journalism.
TRUE Scholars Community Adviser Nathan Winters said he met Mr. Schmitt last week when he first moved into the TRUE Scholars house.
“He was always a very nice guy,” Winters said. “He attended the events we were doing in the hall and was getting along well with the residents.”
