Memorial set for UW students killed in Midvale car crash

The Offices of the Dean of Students and University religious workers will hold a campus memorial service Monday for three UW-Madison students killed in a car crash last week.  

 

The service will commemorate the lives of UW-Madison chemistry lecture volunteers Lindsey Plank and Richard Putze, as well as elite pianist Dan Myers, who died in a car crash Aug. 27 on Midvale Boulevard, days before the start of the fall semester. 

 

Dean of Students Lori Berquam is expected to speak, and family, friends and faculty are encouraged to share stories of the students' lives during the memorial service. 

 

The Department of Chemistry and the School of Music recently created scholarship funds in remembrance of each student. The chemistry department will also provide assistance to give funds directly to the victims' families. 

 

The service will be in the Red Gym at 8 p.m. For more information, contact Jon Dahl at (608) 251-0001.
