We received the sad news that bachelor’s student Maanas Gutta passed away last weekend. Maanas was enrolled in the International Track in Medicine at the Faculty of Health, Medicine & Life Sciences (FHML), since the academic year 2021-2022. We remember him as a motivated student, beloved by his fellow students and teachers. Besides his bachelor, Maanas also participated in the honours programme. He was also one of our dedicated student ambassadors.
We want to express our heartfelt condolences to his parents, brother and other family members and friends. We wish them strength during this difficult time.
A memorial space to remember Maanas has been set up at UNS 60 in room N2.29. Students and staff are welcome to pay their respects and sign the condolence register that will be given to Manaas’ family. This space will be available for this purpose until Friday, 22 January 2025, 17:00.
It is conceivable that some students – particularly those who knew Maanas well – may wish to seek support in processing his passing. The UM Psychologists at Maastricht University offer the opportunity to discuss this in a personal conversation or in a group setting. Those who feel the need for this support can contact a study advisor of FHML or the Student Guidance Office (+31 (0)43-388 52 12).
Of course, the UM Student Chaplaincy, The InnBetween, also offers support if desired during office hours (+31 (0)6-17443610 / +31 (0)43-38 85 310).
