It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Ariana Kolenda, a 2nd-year Physics students in the Faculty of Science. Ariana passed away on May 1st in a hit and run on the Trans-Canada Highway.

On her 20th birthday Ariana was struck and killed by a driver near Canmore, Alberta鈥檚 Visitor Information Centre. The driver of the vehicle that struck Ariana has still not been located.

Ariana, known as Ari to her friends and family came to the University of 蓝莓视频 to pursue a degree in Physics in the Faculty of 蓝莓视频. 鈥淲e were beyond proud of her taking on Physics Honours at 蓝莓视频,鈥� said Jodi Blackwood, Ariana鈥檚 mother, who described Ariana as having 鈥渁n incredible mind.鈥�

She was also known to love gymnastics, cadets, and biathlon. Ariana always had time for those who reached out her 鈥� no matter what they needed.

鈥淎ri was a kind, gentle, loving, intelligent friend to all who were lucky enough to know her. She always made time for everyone who reached out no matter what they needed. Her beautiful heart and incredible mind made her such an amazing human being,鈥� said her mother on social media following her tragic death.

As a lover of physics, and Albert Einstein in particular, one quotation attributed to him is particularly important to understand Ariana鈥檚 impact. "Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another."

Our thoughts and support are with Ariana鈥檚 family and friends at this time.
