As a teaching and research assistant and as a graduate student in film studies, Will earned the friendship and esteem of many faculty, staff, and alumni. Over the years, he has remained a great friend of the Core. Now, as he struggles to recover from his difficult illness, I know that he would be grateful for any support or sympathy that we as a community can provide.<\/p>\n<p>A fund-raiser for Will has been scheduled in the GSU on Friday evening. The event, &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/267192880034959\">An Evening with Michael Tully<\/a>,&#8221; starts at 7 p.m. and includes a screening of director Michael Tully\u2019s film <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1763280\/\">Septien<\/a><\/em>, followed by a conversation with Tully. The event is free and open to the public. Donations to benefit Will can be made at the door.<\/p>\n<p>We also will be sending Will a message of sympathy from the Core community, along with a contribution to his support. If you would like to join us by signing that message, or if you would like to make a contribution (any amount will be gratefully accepted), please contact Zachary Bos in the Core office, by calling 617-353-5404 or emailing <a href=\"mailto:core@bu.edu\">core@bu.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Information about a fund to support Will will be posted as it becomes available at <a href=\"http:\/\/lautzenheiserfund.wordpress.com\/donate\/\">http:\/\/lautzenheiserfund.wordpress.com\/donate\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday, BU Today reported the frightening story of Will Lautzenheiser, a former BU student who lost his limbs to a terrible infection and has come back to Boston for rehabilitation.
