UW-Madison officials urge students to reach out to campus resources for support and counseling following the death of a UW-Madison student in the dorms Tuesday.
Dean of Students Lori Berquam said if students on campus are going through difficult times, she hopes they try to seek help rather than suffer alone.
She added that she wants students to be aware of the many resources on campus that are available to all UW-Madison students.
""There is a wealth of people here on campus who care about students, who care about what they're going through and who really want them to be academically successful here,"" she said.
UW-Madison Police Department officials said Wednesday that no foul play was involved in the death of the student, but that they will continue to investigate the situation.
""Anytime we have the death of a student ... we always take it very seriously,"" UWPD Lt. Pete Ystenes said. ""So we will investigate thoroughly to make sure we cover all the bases.""
According to a UW-Madison release, students who are in need of someone to talk to should go to their house fellows, resident life staff members or the University Health Services counseling center.
