A 2009 graduate was killed in Canada Thursday on a cycling trip when he was struck by a tractor trailer.
Andrew Wolf, 23, of New Jersey, was riding for the Otesha Project, a Canadian charity that promotes sustainable consumption and lifestyle choices through theater, experimental activities and storytelling, according to the project’s website.
Wolf was a member of the project’s Highlands and Islands Tour, a team that cycles across eastern Canada’s Maritime province to encourage youth environmental education, according to the project’s website.
Two other cyclists traveling with Wolf along a four-lane highway sustained minor injuries, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s website.
Wolf graduated from AU Magna Cum Laude, NorthJersey.com reported. Wolf was a chef and educator at “Brainfood” in D.C. — a non-profit organization that reaches teens through food. He also worked in New York for the Children’s Aid Society as a food educator. Wolf went to Chile in 2008 and wrote his thesis on student social justice in Chile.
