OXFORD, Miss. – Each year, the University of Mississippi sets aside time to remember the lives of students, faculty and staff members, and emeritus faculty who died during the year. This year’s ceremony is set for 4 p.m. May 5 in Paris Yates Chapel.

“Our annual memorial ceremony is our opportunity to remember individuals the University of Mississippi has lost throughout the year,” said Brandi Hephner LaBanc, vice chancellor for student affairs. “It is a time to cherish their contributions to our campus and celebrate their lives. Whether they have been here one semester or numerous years, they were an important part of the Ole Miss family.”
