        The service will take place Tuesday night at the school's basketball arena, the university said Wednesday.

        Students will pause for six minutes of silence Friday night to remember the victims.

        The students, all 19 years old, were returning from Panama City, Fla., when their minivan spun into oncoming traffic and was struck by a tractor-trailer. The crash occurred on Interstate 71 near Verona, Ky., about 25 miles south of Cincinnati.

        Authorities said severe winds and heavy rain may have contributed to the crash.

        All of the victims lived in Founders Hall.

        Killed were Jessica Hedlund, of Perrysburg; Andrea Bakker, of Strongsville; Sara Jean McCarthy, of Brook Park; Jacqueline Ahlers, of Vandalia; and Michelle Saunders and Ryan Leigh Foss, both of Huron.

        All had been studying either teaching or nursing and were sophomores except Ms. Saunders, a freshman.
