Reflect and celebrate the lives of students who we lost during this academic year. Four students will be honored during the memorial.
The ceremony includes:
• brief remarks from Dr. Dee Dee Anderson, vice chancellor for student affairs.
• individual recognition of the students lost this year.
• a moment of reflection led by a member of the Association of Campus Religious Workers.
• music by an ensemble from the Hixon-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts.
Light refreshments will be provided after the formal program.
The memorial is free and open to the public.
Later in the evening, Broyhill Fountain in the Nebraska Union Memorial Plaza is to be illuminated red in memory of the students.
Red Memorial began in 2015 at the request of deceased student Keaton Klein’s family, who had a long-standing wish to turn the fountains red and the lighting began to honor his memory.
