Deceased members of the campus community were honored on Thursday during the annual campus memorial event. The ceremony, held near the Valley Life Sciences Building, featured speeches, songs and a moment of silence.

In all, roughly 80 staff, faculty and students were honored during the ceremony. Many of those who attended the event brought a flower, ribbon or other mementos.

A complete list of those remembered at the campus memorial can be found online. A video recording of the event will be made available at a later date.
