Andrew Pochter, a Kenyon College student, was killed Friday while observing a protest in Alexandria, Egypt. The stabbing death of the idealistic student, who was on a summer internship in which he was teaching English to children, has shaken many at Kenyon and drawn attention to safety issues facing American students in Egypt. He was reportedly watching, but not participating in, a protest when he was attacked.
On Friday, the U.S. State Department urged Americans to “defer non-essential travel to Egypt at this time due to the continuing possibility of political and social unrest.”
