BGSU to hold a memorial for Stone Foltz

Memorial to Stone Foltz left outside the former Pi Kappa Alpha house on the BGSU campus.

Bowling Green State University will hold a candlelight memorial to remember the life of student Stone Foltz at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 1, at the Union Oval near the Bowen-Thompson Student Union.

The memorial comes nearly one year following Foltz’s death on March 7, 2021, from alcohol poisoning from a hazing incident. 

“Such tragedies must not continue to plague our state and nation. One student death is too many, and this memorial focuses on Stone and ensuring he is never forgotten,” stated the university’s announcement of the memorial.

Individuals associated with the Pi Kappa Alpha are facing criminal and civil suits over the sophomore’s death.
