Campus Memorial Celebration
We mourn the lives lost in our University of Maryland community and feel deeply that all Terrapins should be honored for their contributions to our campus. Our annual campus Memorial Celebration will bring our community together to remember the lives of Maryland students, faculty, and staff who have passed. In coming together to remember, we mourn these losses as a community and lean on each other through this shared experience. For more information, contact studentaffairs@umd.edu or 301-314-8428. Taking place at the Memorial Chapel or streamed live May 2, 2024, 2:00 p.m., umd.edu/memorialcelebration
