He never got a degree, Hildy. He
transferred from Cornell to U. of
Oklahoma after his freshman yr.
But had a pattern of wanderlust,
his friends say. At OU, seems he
hung with some relatives, & some
of them by marriage were Iraqi.
I THINK this is correct. Please,
anyone, correct if mistaken.
BTW, he was quite good at his
chosen field, but no degree.
I'm beginning to understand. You know, I've been googling his name and I'm seeing conspiracies on the other side that are so absurd that I'm beginning to think mine are just as bad. I'm sure brighter minds than mine have gone through all the evidence and if there was something, then...Probably just one of those weird coincidental things that are just what they appear to be. The Father just makes it all that much stranger.
He didn't get a degree here at OU. In fact, as far as I know he only worked at Lloyd Noble for special events. Not even sure when he left Norman.
Cornell University statement on Nick E. Berg
All members of the Cornell University community are shocked and saddened by the devastating news of the death of Nick Evan Berg, who was a student here for two and a half years.
Nick enrolled as a freshman student in the College of Engineering at Cornell in the Fall of 1996. He spent the Spring 1998 semester in Uganda through Cornell’s Study Abroad Program. He took a voluntary leave of absence from the university after completing the Fall 1998 semester.
Nick Berg is remembered by his professors and classmates at Cornell as an excellent student who made the Dean’s List every semester that he studied here. His adventuresome nature took him to Uganda, where he studied development issues. He was a serious, caring individual who expressed the desire to help people and have a positive influence in the world.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Berg family and to Nick’s many friends and colleagues during these difficult days.
