Buffalo, NY – A former Daemen College professor is among the missing in Haiti.

Patrick Hartwick, who now teaches at Lynn University in South Florida, was with a group of students and another faculty member on a mission trip in Haiti.

A Lynn University spokesman say they are "somber" at the college, but remain hopeful. Hartwick is among six who remain unaccounted for in Haiti.

A search by a private contractor working on behalf of the University in Haiti continues.

Hartwick received two degrees at Buffalo State College. He worked at Daemen from 1993 through 2005.
