On behalf of James Madison University and the Office of International Programs, I want to express my deepest sympathy on the sudden passing of President and Rector Ion Smedescu.
Rector Smedescu was a man of vision and passion, truly a great leader in the field of international education.
Please, let his family know that I am thinking of them at this sad time.

In sorrow,

Dr. Lee Sternberger
Executive Director, Office of International Programs
