UC Berkeley Campus Memorial 2025

This annual memorial recognizes those in the campus community who have died, including, academic & faculty, emeriti, staff, students, post-doctorates, and visiting scholars.

All were invited to attend this event which included remarks by Chancellor Lyons, and a reading of the names of those being remembered, followed by music and spoken word. 

In coming together to remember and honor the lives of the deceased, we reach out to our many colleagues and friends who have suffered loss, as we share in a universal human experience. This ceremony symbolizes the care and support that distinguishes the Berkeley community.

The Annual Campus Memorial will be livestreamed for those who cannot join us in-person at https://www.youtube.com/live/g7uS1Fq6HAY
