News and Notes

The Office of the Dean of Students is deeply saddened by the tragic loss of one of our staff members, Cathy Acevedo, Associate Dean of Students. On behalf of the campus—we extend our deepest condolences to Cathy’s family and friends.

On April 24, 2008 at 5 p.m. a memorial mass for Cathy will be celebrated at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, 708 W. Main St., Urbana, IL 61801.

Following the mass, at 7 p.m.—campus and community members are invited to attend a memorial for Cathy in Foellinger Auditorium.

Cathy dedicated her work to achieving an inclusive and diverse University of Illinois. Cathy’s efforts made a significant difference to individuals and the entire campus community but she would be quick to remind all of us that much more needs to be accomplished to achieve our common goal of an inclusive University of Illinois. Her family request that in lieu of flowers—donations be made to a scholarship in Cathy’s name to the University of Illinois Foundation—c/o Student Affairs Advancement, 610 E. John., Room 410 Student Services Bldg., 610 E. John., Champaign, IL 61820.

We invite all the campus and community members to share their memories of Cathy as we know she touched so many lives.
