Annual memorial service honors those lost this year

On April 15, Augusta University held its annual Memorial Ceremony in remembrance of the students, faculty and staff lost this past year. After the names of those lost were announced, the families placed flower blooms in a bowl of water in memory of their loved ones. Additionally, memorial trees have been planted on both the Summerville and Health Sciences Campuses to remember those who are no longer with us due to COVID-19 and honor those impacted by the pandemic.
