A solemn memorial for those lost

By Public Affairs

Under a scorching sun, the UC Berkeley campus community gathered today for an annual rite of passage, remembering faculty, emeriti, staff and students who died over the last year.

From the posting of colors to the wail of the bagpipe to evocations of those lost, the memorial followed its traditional, solemn path. Chancellor Dirks welcomed the crowd and called for a moment of silence. Music soothed and soared. White doves circled overhead as “Amazing Grace” signaled the close.

The 64 people remembered are listed below. 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.
