The school year begins, as it has for the last 12 years, with a solemn gathering in memory of UC Berkeley staff, students, faculty, emeriti and retirees who passed away during the last year.
The entire community is invited to attend the ceremony, which will take place Monday, Sept. 15, from noon to 1 p.m. at the campus flagpole just west of California Hall. Chancellor Nicholas Dirks will officiate.
Those to be remembered are listed below; the list will be updated shortly before the memorial to make sure it is inclusive. If a person has been inadvertently omitted, please contact memorial organizers at campusmemorial@berkeley.edu. (The names of people remembered at last fall’s ceremony are listed here.)
