Acknowledging the Loss of Alexander Ney

We, at CAPS (Counseling and Psychological Services) want to acknowledge the death of Alexander Ney, a third year graduate student in the Molecular Cancer Biology program.   We realize that his sudden death can be difficult to fathom, and coping with such an unexpected loss can be disorienting, frightening and overwhelming, at times.  

For those who are close to Alex, reaching out to each other is going to be the best way for you to deal with this tragedy.   Some of you may need to be alone while you sort out your feelings and reactions.   We encourage you to rely on your friends and family, helping to build a community of support among each other.  Still, others may wish to have a space to talk with someone not as personally involved.  

Because of all this, we simply want you to know that we have staff available if you need someone to talk about how Alex’s death is impacting you.   If you’d like to speak to a member of our counseling staff, please call us at 660-1000 and simply let the receptionist know you would like to talk to a counselor about how this has been impacting you.
