The Daily Iowan TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 2018 THE INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF 1868 DAILY-IOWAN.COM 50¢ Remembering Kamil one year later

One year ago, University of Iowa freshman Kamil Jackowski died while at a fraternity formal. As friends, family, and campus leaders still cope with his death, new regulations within greek life try to ensure student safety.

People who knew Kamil Jackowski say he was a great friend, selfless, and a natural leader. He was handsome, and his smile could instantly change the mood in a room. That’s why when the 19-year-old University of Iowa freshman was found dead in a motel room during a fraternity formal in Missouri, the campus reacted by joining together — and greek-life leaders began making prompt changes. After the incident on April 30, 2017, after which an autopsy found no foul play was involved, the greek leadership immediately reacted by putting a permanent ban on out-of-town formals. Although Kamil’s death has not been identified as a result of alcohol use, the incident and other mishaps in the community caused leaders to take a deeper look at the party culture in greek life. Now, UI greek life is under a pilot program that limits its alcohol-related events, and greek-life leaders are working to change the drinking culture on campus. To remember Kamil, some of his fraternity friends from Sigma Chi created a football tournament to keep his name alive on campus and beyond. The event will also raise money for a scholarship for a football player from Hersey High School in Arlington Heights, Illinois, where Kamil was a team captain. Kamil’s two brothers, David, 23, and Sebastian, 18, who also attend UI, say it has been a hard year for their family, but they are beginning to celebrate Kamil’s life instead of dwelling on his death. One year later, as those close to Kamil reflect on his life, and the campus com- munity implements changes to prevent something similar from happening in the future, the tournament and what it stands for is just one step in the healing process. “I think it speaks to both what kind of kid he was and how amazing and im- pactful he was on others,” David said. “And also, it speaks on the kids he sur- rounded himself with.” SEE KAMIL, 3
