Issue date: 2/10/09 Section: News
Students and faculty will celebrate Gertrude "Trudy" Steuernagel's life at 3 p.m. Friday in the Kiva.
Steuernagel died Friday, about a week after she was beaten.
Molly Merryman, associate professor of justice studies, said there will be representatives from Psychological Services at the memorial to help anyone struggling to cope with her death.
There will also be a petition available to sign, asking Kent State to include autism within its health care package. Steuernagel's son, who was charged with the beating, is autistic. Merryman said this cause was one Steuernagel fought very hard for during her time at Kent State.

I would have thought the Stater would be more sensitive about Dr. Steuernagel's passing than the rest of the media. Please stop referring to her in relation to the cause of her death. (Continued…)

It mentions something about a petition being passed around in the article. Does anyone know if there is a way that I can sign the petition even though I will not be able to attend the memorial service? I would really like to sign the petition. (Continued…)
