Death of a Student – Ram Handbook

Sadly from time to time, the University community experiences the death of one of its members. In the case of a student death, the University will notify the community of the loss as soon as is reasonably possible. In addition, the Dean of Students will work with friends of the deceased, in collaboration with family members, to assist in the planning of a memorial service or gathering on campus, if desired. If you are aware of the death of a classmate, you are asked to notify the Dean of Students Office at 508-626-4596 in order to facilitate communication of the death and allow to extend sympathy to the family of the deceased.
