UW senior killed by drunk driver in Hong Kong

A UW-Madison senior killed in Hong Kong by a drunken driver Friday is being remembered as a “tremendous student” who was very easygoing and cared about others.

Kurt Leswing, 21, of Milwaukee was in Hong Kong traveling in the 15-week Semester at Sea program, a shipboard study abroad program administered by the Institute for Shipboard Education, with the University of Virginia as the academic sponsor.
