NBC-15 learned tonight that Shereen was a UW-Madison employee as a Grant Contract Specialist, helping faculty members submit applications for funding.
Her boss says Shereen was described as a generally happy person who will be missed.
“We sent home a number of people because they were so upset and needed a place that was quiet and begin to deal with this,” said Kim Moreland, Shereen’s co-worker. “But you don’t replace her. I think that we all believe that she had tremendous potential and that she would be in this department working with us for a long time.”
