Abstract
Death and bereavement are experiences felt by most students as they try to navigate the
difficulty that is college. As a university, it is important that all students at the University of
Minnesota Duluth (UMD) are allowed to participate in all traditions and rituals in relation to
death and bereavement to create an inclusive and accepting environment for students. The goal
of this paper is to analyze the importance of inclusive bereavement leaves at the university, the
benefit of such, as well as the implications individual religions have on bereavement and death.
Using this information, a suggestion of bereavement leave lengths for students of a majority of
religions at UMD will be provided. Each religion has different traditions and rituals, which
should all be respected concerning bereavement policies to offer a feeling of acceptance at the
university. In order to create an inclusive bereavement policy, the university would best be
served by noting and honoring the traditions of each religion and culture and keep the policies
updated as changes occur. As a university, it is important to show support for students when they
need it most by actively trying to improve their student's mental and physical well-being with
ongoing support by allowing the complete practicing of death and bereavement traditions and
rituals.
