A memorial service for sophomore philosophy major Dieter Seltzer, who died Tuesday, will be held Saturday 4 p.m. at Pierce Funeral Home in Manassas, Va.

Seltzer, who died of unknown causes, was at home in Manassas at the time of his death.

Michael Seltzer, Dieter’s father, asked that donations to a scholarship fund be made in lieu of flowers. The fund benefits the philosophy department because Dieter was a philosophy major. Checks should be made to the Virginia Tech Foundation with the memo “Philosophy Scholarship Fund,” and sent to:

Scholarship Fund
