Deaths

The University has well-established procedures in the case of the death of a currently enrolled student.  If you hear of such a case, please contact the Dean’s office. The Dean’s office will contact the appropriate University officials.

In the case of the death of a current or former OSU Mansfield faculty or staff member, or close relatives thereof, please allow the Dean’s office to make the official announcement and to handle the official response of the campus.  Such a centralized policy is intended to avoid embarrassing miscommunications.
