Deceased UW students to be remembered at memorial

As students begin to prepare for finals, make summer plans and say goodbye to friends for three months, the university will be remembering several very special UW-Madison students. 

 

On Friday, May 8, the Offices of the Dean of Students will hold a memorial for the students who passed away during the 2008-'09 academic year. 

 

Beginning at 1 p.m., the carillon bells outside the Social Sciences building on Observatory Drive will play for each deceased student.  

 

The students to be remembered are Richard Putze, Lindsey Plank, Daniel Myers, Brian Hamming, Jeffrey Fridlund and Kurt Leswing. 

 

Carilloneur Lyle Anderson will play seven individual pieces, each one followed by a moment of silence in respect for the deceased. 

 

The memorial will end with the piece ""In Memoriam"" by John Courter.
