It appears that Ren fell after climbing the scaffolding on the building’s exterior, according to a Rockefeller Chapel employee familiar with the incident. The source said there was no way for Ren to have accessed the heights of the scaffolding from inside, as the chapel was locked overnight, suggesting that he may have hopped the fence around the construction area and climbed the scaffolding from the outside. os.tvboxnow.com!

Ren taught a section of freshman calculus and was a year away from completing his Ph.D. A fifth-year graduate student, he attended high school in Shanghai and majored in mathematics at Colgate College, where he graduated as valedictorian of the class of 2004 with a 4.15 GPA. os.tvboxnow.com+ \; ?9 j4 g+ h!

His students and some colleagues in the graduate program were alerted of the news by an e-mail from the University. They met yesterday morning, along with two counselors from the Student Counseling and Resource Service, at the hour that Ren would normally be teaching calculus to a room full of undergraduates. The news came as a shock to many members of the Math Department, according to people who attended.

“The first thing is, it was really very quiet at first,” Constantin said. “So we just sat there, and slowly people shared some stories. Mostly we were in a state of shock, and some people were quietly crying, and I saw some people’s lips moving, maybe it was a prayer. There was a lot of quietness. A counselor offered some words, and grad students told some stories about Ren that lightened up the atmosphere a little bit.”

He was reputed for stirring bleary-eyed undergraduates to attention during morning classes with his fast-paced, high-energy teaching style. When he taught his calculus class the distance formula in October, he went beyond the simple mandate that students memorize the equation, bounding across the classroom scribbling pictures on the board to illustrate why the formula was true.
