HOPEWELL, N.J. — A college student from New Jersey has been confirmed dead in last month’s earthquake in Haiti.

Christine Gianacaci of Hopewell was a 22-year-old sophomore at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla.

The university announced Thursday that the U.S. Department of State has notified her family of her death.

She was one of a dozen students and two faculty members from the university who were in Haiti on a service trip when the earthquake struck. Eight of the students were evacuated after the Jan. 12 earthquake.

Gianacaci is the second Lynn student to be declared dead. Two others and the two faculty members remain unaccounted for.
