 Good afternoon. I'm Carol Chris the Chancellor. Thank you for joining in today's Memorial Campus Service in which we remember those from our community who have died in the past year. Faculty, staff, retirees, and students whose names we will read. I'm so glad that we can have the ceremony in person face to face after so many months of sheltering in place and minimizing social interaction that times we come together to gather are weighted with grateful meaning. This is particularly true on this occasion when we remember those we've lost. There's been so much death around us in the past two years. Death from COVID, deaths from natural disaster, deaths from despair, as well as the deaths from age and disease that are part of the narrative of life. It's a temptation to become numb, but we cannot be inured to tragedy. We can't be inured to mourning. When I returned to Berkeley in 2013 right after my husband had died, this memorial was one of the first campus events I attended. It gave me comfort to mourn his death with others that had also lost people dear to them. It gave me comfort to mourn his death in the context of the university and the community that had meant so much to him. I hope this ceremony gives you those same comforts. In my academic work, I study the British Victorians who had a culture that some people say was obsessed by death. I've thought a lot about what mourning meant to the Victorians. I've come to realize it was a way of keeping the dead alive. Present within us and present in our communities, it was an act of memory, of commemoration. This ceremony in its small way does the same kind of work. By mourning our losses together, we affirm our connectedness not only to those we mourn, but to each other as a campus community. I want particularly to mention the 12 students who lost their lives this year to violence, to illness, to tragic accidents. These are the deaths that hit us the hardest. When a young person dies, it reverses the order of nature. We mourn not only their loss, but so much life left unlived. When I worked with Chancellor Chen in the 1990s, we lost several students in the first months of his chancellorship to a terrible fraternity fire. I still remember his telling the grieving community that we needed to carry them in our hearts, our minds, and our eyes, so that they could continue to inspire our lives. I hope we can carry all those we've lost in this way. The Berkeley students who died this year left a vivid and indelible mark on all who knew and loved them and were inspired by them. I hope that some of their families are with us today proud that their children were students at Berkeley. We share in your terrible loss. Several of our faculty and staff also died and the prime of their lives was so much more to contribute. Their loss has left our community the poorer. Others, emeriti, faculty, and staff retirees lived long lives and made important contributions that have built Berkeley into the great university that it is today. The names of those we're remembering today appear on our memorial stand. We don't include alumni in this list because we don't hear of everyone's death, but we also think of them at this time because they're also members of the Cal family. We also remember those of our community lost in previous years. Let us now take a moment of silence to honor all the departed members of the Cal community, our faculty, staff, students, researchers, alumni, friends, and family. I now invite Professor Marianne Smart, Professor of Music and Chair of the Academic Senate to come forward and read the names of faculty, emeriti faculty, academics, and academic retirees.
