Around 100 people attended Rams Remember Rams, a Colorado State University community remembrance ceremony, at the Oval Monday evening. The ceremony is an annual event that is held to honor CSU students, faculty, staff and retired employees who died
during this academic year. The event began on the north steps of the Administration Building at 5 p.m., where President Tony Frank stood to address the crowd. Participants were given candles and green ribbons as a symbol of remembrance. According to an article in SOURCE, the candles are “a symbol of hope and a way of
showing solidarity with one another and the people being remembered.” As Vice President Blanche Hughes and Provost and Executive Vice President Rick Miranda read the names of those who recently died, participants lit each others candles as a sign of solidarity. “They live on in our memory,” Frank said after the list had
been read and the Alma Mater was sung. The list included Courteney Seaman, a student who died in a car accident in February during an ice storm, as well as John Clark Pratt, former chairman of the CSU English Department. Those who died in the Armed Forces were remembered as well. see REMEMBER on page 4 >>
