I am deeply saddened by this news. Professor Rafferty was always eager to impart his knowledge on others. He spent countless hours outside of regularly scheduled classroom time to ensure his students had every opportunity for success. He was extremely well respected by his students and has helped to shape my career choices post college. The knowledge and energy he has shared with his students will live on. Thank you, Professor for all you have done for myself and others. May you rest in peace.
Love from Amy Coburn

My heart is with you all. I feel so privileged that I got to meet Matt and to witness how he and Sacha loved each other in smaller moments. His light continues to shine on. ((Hugs))

I was very sorry to hear about the loss of Professor Rafferty. He helped me out an awful lot during my time at Quinnipiac, as well as after. He was a great professor and took a real interest in his students. My prayers to his family and I know his impact goes on. Thanks Professor Rafferty.

I had the pleasure of knowing Matt for many years here at QU. He was a wonderful man and I enjoyed and will always remember our chats. He always made it a point to bring Cooper by when he was on campus. He will truly be missed. My heart goes out to the entire Rafferty family.
