Roadrunner Remembrance ceremony is Feb. 28

(Feb. 23, 2009)--The UTSA community is invited to participate in the first Roadrunner Remembrance, a ceremony honoring UTSA students, faculty, staff and alumni who died last year. The ceremony is 10 a.m., Saturday, Feb 28 in the University Center Retama Auditorium (2.02.02) on the 1604 Campus.

To be conducted annually, the memorial service will feature readings and music honoring the deceased individuals' contributions to the development of UTSA.

"Roadrunner Remembrance is open to all members of our community and everyone is encouraged to attend, particularly if you have lost a friend or loved one who was a part of our community," said Ann Margaret Trujillo, associate director of the UTSA Inclusion and Community Engagement Center.

In this first observance, there will be a moment to collectively memorialize UTSA community members who died between 1969 and 2007. Then, those who died in 2008 will be individually honored.

For more information, contact the Inclusion and Community Engagement Center at (210) 458-4770.
