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.

The University of Georgiaâs International Student Life street festival looked different this year, but nonetheless digitally showcased and celebrated the variety of diverse cultural and identity-based student organizations present on campus.
Normally, 3,000 to 5,000 people gather in downtown Athens each spring for the festival where students, families, friends and children gather to enjoy cultural displays and live performances.
This year, the five-day event implemented a mix of pre-recorded and live Zoom activities prepared by various student organizations such as the Indian Student Association, Asian American Student Association, African Student Union, Arab Cultural Association and many more.
âWe hope that the virtual content that our student organizations have created helps our community continue to build awareness, respect and appreciation for people from various backgrounds,â Director of International Student Life Justin Jeffery said.
