All are invited to attend this event which will include 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.
