Grow said Egan came to Carleton this fall as a one-year replacement for a faculty member who had taken a leave of absence. He was returning from a trip to Nicaragua to visit his fiancee when he was killed. Egan’s fiancee, Gloria Bacon, is the artistic director of the Modern Dance Company of Nicaragua.

Egan had been scheduled to return to the United States on Oct. 16, but was bumped from several flights.

Egan, an Argentinian, has been a consultant to the U.S. State Department, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Commission on U.S.-Latin Relations and the American Assembly Association of U.S. Attorneys General.

Before joining Carleton’s faculty he taught at Williams College in Massachusetts and Occidental College in California, the University of California at San Diego and the University of California at Berkeley.

Carleton officials said Egan is survived by his parents, who live in Wilmington, Del.
