The Western community is mourning the death of undergraduate Social Science student Jeffrey Costa, who died April 7 in Richmond Hill, Ont. Jeffrey served as a Soph in both Medway-Sydenham Hall and Social Science and was well-known by many on campus. The Western community’s thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.

York Regional police are investigating.

Western has set up grief support for those in our community requiring counselling of any kind.

The Community Room in the University Community Centre (UCC 269) will be open for students, faculty and staff from 6-8 p.m. Friday and 2-6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Western reminds its campus community that counselling services are always available to assist faculty, students and staff. Visit Western’s Health and Wellness website for help today.

If you are in immediate crisis, support is also available through the Good2Talk, Post-Secondary Student Helpline at 1-866-925-5454, or police services at 911 or Campus Community Police at 519-661-3300.
