It is with sadness that I share with you the passing of a member of the Vandal Family, Aleksander (Alek) Halem, who died unexpectedly on Sunday evening.

Alek, who was from Newbury Park, California, was a senior majoring in Art + Design. He also served as a devoted student manager for the Women's Basketball Team.

The passing of a Vandal family member can understandably have significant impacts on those left behind. If you are worried about a student, faculty or staff member and are unsure of what to do, please file a VandalCARE report.
