Jordyn Rivera was a Health Science student at CSUSB.
SAN BERNARDINO >> Sunday’s mass shooting in Las Vegas killed Cal State San Bernardino student Jordyn Rivera.
Rivera, a native of La Verne, was a fourth-year student in the Health Care Management program and a warm, energetic person, Cal State San Bernardino President Tomás Morales said Tuesday in an email to employees and students.
“I personally got a chance to know her when we spent time together last summer in London during the summer abroad program,” Morales wrote. “As one of her faculty members noted, we will remember and treasure her for her warmth, optimism, energy, and kindness.”
A Bonita High School graduate, Rivera was a member of CSUSB’s chapter of Eta Sigma Gamma, the national health education honor society, according to Morales.
“This is a devastating loss for the entire CSUSB family,” he said. “In this time of grief, our thoughts and prayers are with Jordyn’s family, friends and all who knew her. More information will be shared as it becomes available.”
A GoFundMe page had raised more than $10,000 by Tuesday morning to help the family.
“I’m lost for words right now and I cannot imagine or even begin to think how Albert and Mary Rivera feel right now,” wrote the page creator, Mike Schrader. “Their daughter Jordyn just turned 21 years old a couple months ago and was at the Vegas concert when the shooting happened. She passed away so young and she had everything going for her.”
