Tyler Clementi has been described as a sweet, shy Rutgers University freshman and accomplished violinist. The 18-year-old jumped to his death from New York's George Washington Bridge on September 22 after his roommate allegedly posted video of Clementi's dorm-room encounter with another male student.
His death came just days before the campus launch of Project Civility, a two-year initiative aimed at fostering respect and politeness among Rutgers students.
