I am saddened to inform you of the loss of a student from the Hawkeye family. Kamil Jackowski, a 1st year CLAS student who was majoring in pre-business, died this weekend. We offer our deepest condolences to Kamil’s family, friends, and loved ones.

Losing a fellow student and member of our university can be very difficult. I encourage students who feel they need support to contact University Counseling Service at 319-335-7294 or https://counseling.uiowa.edu/services/appointments/ for information on how schedule an appointment.

During this time, we are reminded of the importance of community and accepting emotional support. Additional notifications have been sent to faculty and affiliated organizations. If you have questions or need further assistance, please feel free to contact me in the Office of the Dean of Students.

Sigma Chi Fraternity also released a statement:

“We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Kamil Jackowski, a member of our chapter at the University of Iowa following an off-campus chapter social event this past Sunday morning.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Jackowski family, and all that knew Kamil, during this very difficult time. All members of the chapter and those that attended last Saturday’s social event in Lake Ozark, Missouri have been provided access to grief counseling to help them cope with this sudden loss.

As is our policy related to tragic events such as this, we immediately placed the chapter on interim suspension pending a thorough investigation into the events that led up to this heartbreaking incident. We are also fully committed to cooperating with the University of Iowa as they work to complete their own inquiry into the matter and appreciate the partnership and support they have given thus far.
