Elgin  \nHarper  \nIllinois Central: Yes, we send letters. However, there isn’t a template, as one of the Vice Presidents personally hand-writes a message to the family on a branded sympathy card.  \nIllinois Valley  \nJoliet: JJC sends a condolence card from the President and a dish garden on behalf of the college to the  \nservice.  \nLake Land: Lake Land College sends a college memorial, or a donation as mentioned in the obituary, to the services along with a card of sympathy from the Lake Land College Board of Trustees and President Bullock.  \nOakton: Oakton sends two letters: One from Student Affairs with a tuition refund check, and one from the  \nPresident.  \nRock Valley: The Dean of Students office at Rock Valley College sends condolence letters. We do not have a template.  \nSpoon River: Spoon River College doesn’t have a template for condolence letters. The letters are personalized and specific to the family of the student.  \nTriton: Yes, but there is no template as this is handled on an individual basis.  \nWright: Wright does send out condolence letters but we don’t have a template.  \nNO--8  \nDanville: The president’s office has sent condolence cards, though, that are similar to the ones we send to families of deceased employees and alumni.  \nHighland: If it is a current student, we send a plant to the funeral or a donation to the memorial, depending on the family’s preference.  \nKankakee  \nKaskaskia: We usually send arrangements to services.  \nMorton  \nShawnee  \nSouth Suburban: No, however, I think it is a great idea and something we will consider at SSC.  \nSoutheastern  \nSAMPLE CONDOLENCE LETTERS  \nDuPage  \nDear    \nPlease accept our deepest sympathies upon the recent death of   His passing is a great loss to our college community and we mourn with you.  \nPlease know the thoughts and prayers ofthe College of DuPage faculty and staff are with your family during this very difficult time.  \nSincerely,  \nBrian W. Caputo, Ph.D., C.P.A. President  \nElgin  \nThe Dean of Students will follow the Death of a Student/Former Student Admin Procedure in these situations.  \nThe communication to the family is in the form of a handwritten note on ECC Dean of Students office stationary, and is fairly simple.  \nThe note contains the following information:  \n• Expressing condolences for the family’s loss on behalf of Dean of Students and the College  \n• Assurance that the student’s record at the College will be closed and current term tuition refunded (if applicable)  \n• Provide Dean of Student contact information and offer to answer any question or concern the family may have regarding the College procedure in these situations  \nIf we learn of the student’s passing prior to the service being held, we request Student Life to send flowers to the service on behalf of ECC and the Dean will attend the service.  \nHarper  \nFor current students who have passed away, a letter is sent from the president to their next of kin.  \nSample body of letter here:  \nDear   (parents or spouse of student),  \nThe Harper College community would like to express its deepest sympathy in the loss ofyour son/daughter,   (name).
