SOAS Alum Killed in Haiti Quake
18 January 2010
The School was saddened to learn on Monday of the death of Frederick Wooldridge, a 1997 SOAS graduate. He is the first Briton confirmed killed in the Haiti earthquake tragedy.
Wooldridge, who was from Kent, was a political affairs and planning officer at the United Nations. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time.
We will share more information as it becomes available. In the meantime, please see the following stories:
