The president of Belmont University, Dr. Greg Jones, sent a letter to students and faculty that said Ludwig is known for her love of music.
She is a music business major and bass player who loves running and enjoys being outside.
He said a prayer service would be held on campus Wednesday afternoon and asked the community to join him in praying for Ludwig's family, friends and loved ones.
