Know of an alumnus or alumna who has passed away?
Help us keep this archive current by notifying the Office of Alumni Relations. Once verified, their name will be added to the In Memoriam archive.
When we are made aware of the passing of an alumnus, alumna, or friend of the University, we update the record, include an In Memoriam notice in The Messenger when space allows, and remember the deceased at our annual Final Ala Cumba ceremony.
