OXFORD, Miss. \u2013 Each spring, the University of Mississippi conducts a memorial ceremony to commemorate the lives of students, faculty, staff and emeriti who died during this academic year.<\/p>\n

This year’s ceremony is scheduled for 4\u00a0p.m. Thursday (April 30) at Paris-Yates Chapel<\/a>. The community is invited and encouraged to attend.<\/p>\n

Honoring the lives of the loved ones lost over the last year provides an opportunity to bring the Ole Miss family together in unity, said Brandi Hephner LaBanc, vice chancellor for student affairs.<\/p>\n

“The most difficult aspect of our job is dealing with death,”\u00a0Hephner\u00a0LaBanc said. “Every year, we lose many individuals who have had an important and lasting impact on our community. Whether they have been here one semester or numerous years, they were an important part of the Ole Miss family. The memorial ceremony is our opportunity to remember their\u00a0contribution and celebrate their lives.”<\/p>\n

This year’s ceremony honors these 14 members of the Ole Miss family:<\/p>\n
