Dear members of the President's Cabinet, 

We're about to send the following message to faculty and staff members from Professional Writing and Music Technology and Academic Technology. Following that message will be one to the larger Berklee community. 

Sincerely, 
Eileen and Matthew


Dear colleagues, 

In a few moments, we will send out an email to the Berklee community about our colleague Kedaar Kumar, who passed unexpectedly today on campus. As a member of the Professional Writing and Music Technology team, we wanted to alert you before sending this message.

A longtime member of the Berklee community, Kedaar was both an alumnus and member of the staff. As we mourn this untimely loss, our hearts go out to his family and friends.
 
Loss of life inspires a diverse range of emotions, and those closest to someone who has died bear a great load as they work through the grieving process. We encourage you to support those closest to Kedaar and to support one another at this difficult time.

Counseling services for Berklee faculty and staff are available through our Employee Assistance Program (EAP), E4Health, at 800-828-6025. More information regarding the EAP can be found at helloe4.com (user name: berklee college of music | password: guest). Also, you can reach out directly to Eileen Alviti, vice president of Human Resources, at 617-747-2305 or ealviti@berklee.edu.

We know we speak for our entire community in expressing condolences to Kedaar’s loved ones, friends, and colleagues.

Sincerely,

Eileen Alviti
Vice President of Human Resources

Matthew Nicholl
Dean, Professional Writing and Music Technology
