An undergraduate student passed away yesterday, according to an announcement sent out by Interim President Dr. Katia Passerini.
Joseph DeBari, a junior accounting major in the Stillman School of Business, was a legacy student from Bridgewater, N.J. who was active in the Hall Street Fund. The cause of his death has not been revealed at the time of this article.
"There are no adequate words to express the sorrow we feel at the death of one of our own community members," Passerini said, "Especially a student in the prime of life. The depth of this loss affects all of us immensely and personally."
