To honor the members of the UC Davis and UC Davis Health community who have passed away, we are hosting a Remembrance Ceremony.
2025 Remembrance Ceremony
Date: Monday, May 19, 2025
Time: Noon – 12:30 p.m.

This event is a heartfelt tribute to the students, staff and academics who have passed away during the previous year. It's an opportunity to come together as a community to honor their lives, acknowledge their contributions and celebrate the memories.
