In addition to grief counseling offered on Miami’s Oxford campus, counseling for students also is available on Miami’s Hamilton campus to offer support in the wake of Sunday’s off-campus fire which took the lives of three Miami students, Stephen Smith, Julia Turnbull and Kathryn Welling.

Students are encouraged to contact Mary Bausano on the Hamilton Campus. She is located in Room 121 Rentschler Hall and can be reached at 785-3211.
