Passing of Dr. Riten Mitra

July 8, 2025

It is with profound sadness that I share the news of the sudden passing of our esteemed colleague and beloved faculty member, Dr. Riten Mitra. Riten was not only a dedicated educator and researcher but also a compassionate mentor and friend to many. His contributions to the field of biostatistics and to the university were invaluable, and his legacy will continue to inspire us.

In honor of Riten's memory, we will be organizing a memorial service, details of which will be shared soon.

Please join us in extending our deepest condolences to Dr. Mitra's family, friends, and all who were touched by his remarkable life.

With heartfelt sympathy,

Katie Cardarelli, Dean


 

The visitation for Dr. Riten Mitra is scheduled for Friday, March 14, 2025, from 9:30 am until 11:00 am at Fern Creek Funeral Home.
