Summer is on the horizon and final exams are nearing at the University of Miami, but for newly-elected Student Government President Landon Coles and the rest of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council, the end of the spring semester calls for a moment of reflection.
Roughly a year after the COVID-19 pandemic ravaged the globe and transformed every aspect of society, the DEI Council will honor the three million lives lost with an end-of-semester memorial.
The memorial is scheduled to take place on April 27 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on the Coral Gables campus Foote Green. There will be a maximum capacity of 150 people, which includes university students, faculty and staff.

In an Oct. 29, 1981 letter, then Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile told student groups that the police would not enter any campus nationwide unless requested by students or school authorities, and that the military would not interfere in “peaceful student protest actions.” In return, student protesters should notify the police ahead of any demonstration, the letter stated.
