A vigil for Utah State University graduate student Matthew “Matt” Del Grosso, 23, is Thursday, May 28, at 9 p.m. at the Green Canyon Pavilion in North Logan.
Del Grosso died while climbing in Green Canyon.
Del Grosso was a first-year graduate student in USU’s Department of Biology in the College of Science and was pursuing research on the social evolution of bees with faculty advisor Karen Kapheim.
He earned an undergraduate degree in biology at Salisbury University in Maryland. He was a proponent of environmental conservation and served a year as an Americorps Conservation Corps volunteer in Utah and Nevada.
Those planning the May 28 vigil said Del Grosso’s parents and family members will travel to Cache Valley from Maryland for the gathering. A Facebook page includes details about the vigil.
