The Big Rapids school says in a statement it's "deeply saddened" by the death of Lucy Ngoh, who died after being hurt in a Dec. 30 bus accident in the West African nation of Cameroon.
The Grand Rapids Press reports ( http://bit.ly/XsPCSA) Ngoh was visiting relatives at the time of the accident.
She joined Ferris' College of Pharmacy in 1992, was a pharmacist and a certified health education specialist.
Ngoh earned a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Texas, a master's degree in health administration from Tulane University and a bachelor's degree in pharmacy from the University of Washington.
A memorial service is pending. The Ferris flag was flown at half-staff in Ngoh's honor on Thursday.
