Dean of Students responds to tragic student death
"The University of Wisconsin-Madison community is grieving over the tragic death of one of our own, Brittany Sue Zimmermann.
Brittany Sue Zimmermann
I want to send my thoughts and sympathy to Brittany's family, friends and co-workers.
From everything I have learned about her today, she was an engaged and active student, and a dedicated student employee of the Registrar's Office.
An event like this is extremely unsettling, and I share the frustration, sadness and shock of our students, faculty, staff, parents and alumni. This will be a difficult time, but I can tell you that we will come together in support of each other and continue working to make our campus as safe as possible.
I want to continue to urge members of the campus community to take advantage of the safety resources we have available, including SAFEwalk and SAFEride programs, University Health Services Counseling and Consultation Services' 24-hour crisis line, and the Employee Assistance Office.
Lastly, we will do everything we can to assist this investigation. I urge anyone with information about this case to please call Crime Stoppers at (608) 266-6014."
