| A Note From W&L Human Resources |
|
| On behalf of the university, Human Resources acknowledges the passing of employees and their immediate family members by sending a peace lily plant or a memorial contribution. When you are notified of a death, please pass along the obituary to us as soon as possible. |
| Immediate family includes a spouse, domestic partner, father, mother, siblings, children, grandparents, stepparents, grandchildren, brothers- and sisters-in-law, mothers- and fathers-in-law, and sons- and daughters-in-law. |
| Human Resources also sends a peace lily or a memorial from the university when a retiree passes and when a retiree's spouse passes and the retiree is still living. Thank you for helping relay information of this nature in a timely fashion. |
