Qiu was unresponsive when Evanston paramedics arrived. She was taken to Evanston NorthShore University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead, police said.



No citations were issued to the truck driver, a 38-year-old Des Plaines resident, police said.



Qiu was from Nanjing, China, and had just started at Northwestern this fall, according to Dean of Students Todd C. Adams. She was a member of the Kaplan Humanities Scholars Program.



Adams said counseling was being offered to students. "The loss of any one member of our community affects us all, and it does so in different ways," he said. "Grieving is normal when experiencing loss, and our friends and colleagues can be helpful in lending an ear or giving their time, particularly when we let them know it is needed."
