Policy Statement
Claremont McKenna College honors the memory of students whose death predates their graduation from the College by affixing a placard with their name on the memorial plaque located on the north side of Kravis Center Lower Courtyard. The student’s name shall be listed on the plaque in the decade of their original matriculation to the College. A placard on the memorial wall is the College’s consistent physical tribute to honor deceased students. This tribute is distinct from any guidelines and practices the Office of Advancement would employ to work with individual families to memorialize students through scholarship funds, endowed gifts, building projects, etc. It is likewise independent of the Posthumous Letter of Arts in Collegiate Studies, which is granted upon approval of the faculty.
All units of the College.
Please direct any questions about this Policy to: Facilities and Campus Services, (909) 621-8112

• Students who passed away while on an approved leave of absence or suspension from the College of no more than two years.
Exclusion

• Students whose death was preceded by violence or other crimes against the College or the community could be excluded at the discretion of the Executive Cabinet.
• Students who are Veterans will be included on the Veterans Memorial instead of this memorial wall.
