Fund created for injured student

An anonymous donor off campus has set up an account for the UW student who was attacked off campus on Jan. 8. It’s called the “Pink Blanket Fund,” and donations can be made at any branch of Wells Fargo Bank.

The student, whose name is being withheld, was attacked by an unknown assailant about 7 a.m. as she was moving her car off campus, news reports said. The student came to the U.S. about four years ago from Rwanda.

While the student mends, the UW Office of Student Life is coordinating campus services to help her now and when she returns to class.
