Dear Members of the Monmouth University Community:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is with deep sadness that I inform you of the death of one of our students, Madison Rochelle Alfano. Madison was a first-year student in the Honors School pursuing a bachelor\u2019s degree in Communication. She was also a highly valued member of the University Athletics Equipment student staff. She died on Saturday, January 13, 2024 as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The University grieves the tragic and untimely loss of a member of our community and extends its deepest sympathies to her family, friends, and fellow students at this most difficult time. Flags on campus have been lowered in Madison\u2019s honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
