(CNN) A Fordham University student who fell about 30 feet from inside a clock tower early Sunday has died, school officials said. Sydney Monfries was climbing the school's iconic clock tower in Keating Hall about 3 a.m. when the fall occurred on the Bronx, New York, campus of the Jesuit university. "Fordham will confer a bachelor's degree upon Sydney posthumously, which we will present to her parents at the appropriate time." A mass was scheduled to be held for Monfries on Sunday evening at Fordham University Church. According to the university, Monfries had climbed the clock tower with some friends.
