Memorial service information for Milan Jones

Dear students, faculty and staff,

As our community continues to grieve the tragic loss of Milan Jones, I write to provide an update on her funeral arrangements.

Memorial services for Milan are scheduled early next week here in Philadelphia, her hometown. A viewing is scheduled on Monday, July 1, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Emmanuel Johnson Funeral Home, 6653 Chew Ave. A viewing will also be held at 9 a.m., followed immediately by a Catholic Mass at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, July 2, at St. Helena Church, 6161 N. 5th St.

In the days since her death, I have heard countless stories of Milan's warmth and kindness. I encourage all members of the Temple community to honor Milan's memory by coming together to support one another during this time of heartbreak and grief.

Student mental health support is available through Tuttleman Counseling Services. For more information, call 215-204-7276 or visit the Tuttleman Counseling Services website. For faculty and staff members, our employee assistance program offers support and resources 24/7 online or by calling 1-888-267-8126.

If you or anyone you know is experiencing domestic violence, there are campus and national resources available to support you or the people you care about.

Our thoughts continue to be with Milan's family, friends and all who knew her during this incredibly difficult time.

Sincerely,

Jodi Bailey Accavallo
