UC Berkeley held its annual memorial recognizing those in the campus community who died, including, academic & faculty, emeriti, staff, students, post-doctorates, and visiting scholars, on Monday, September 9th, 2024.

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.

UC Berkeley's Campus Memorial 2024 was recorded and can be viewed on the Berkeley Event Page. 

If you have any questions regarding this event or would like to add a person to be remembered, please contact memorial organizers at campusmemorial@berkeley.edu
