At Berkeley, Leslie hoped to acquire the skills and contacts to parlay his love of oceans into a job protecting them. Campus Dean of Students Joseph Greenwell said that Leslie's parents hoped other Berkeley students would follow his example by working for positive change in the world. Three other Berkeley students were injured in the attack, while one other program participant still was unaccounted for as of Monday: 21-year-old Estonian Rickard Kruusberg. Friends, relatives and university officials had been searching hospitals in Nice and plastering the city with flyers before the FBI informed university officials Leslie was among the dead. Another Berkeley student, 18-year-old sophomore Tarishi Jain, was among the 20 hostages killed by militants in Dhaka, Bangladesh, earlier this month.
