Dear Members of the Monmouth University Community:
It is with deep sadness that I inform you of the death of one of our students, Temitayo Olufemi Sunday Ali, who was known affectionately on campus as “Tayo”.
Tayo was a fourth year student expecting to complete his degree at the end of the fall 2023 semester. He died early Saturday morning, April 15, 2023, as a result of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident near his home in Egg Harbor Township.
I know you will join me in extending our deepest sympathies to Tayo’s family, friends, and Tau Delta Phi fraternity brothers at this most difficult time. Flags on campus have been lowered in Tayo’s memory.
As the Monmouth University family grieves Tayo’s passing, support services are available through Counseling and Prevention Services at 732-571-7517 or the Office of Student Life at 732-571-3417. Information regarding services for Tayo are not available at this time.
If you have any questions or need further information, please contact the Office of Student Life.
Please take a moment today, in your own way, to think of Tayo and his family.
Thank you.
Dr. Patrick F. Leahy
President
