University of Virginia Biomedical Engineering - UVA BME

Please join the UVA community in remembering Devin, Lavel, and D’Sean on the day, one year ago, when their lives were tragically cut short. At 12:55 p.m., the Chapel bells will play a verse of “Amazing Grace” followed by three tolls of the bells, honoring each life lost. Many in our community will gather near the Chapel and on the Lawn. For those who cannot gather on Grounds, the moment of remembrance will be streamed at www.virginia.edu/live.

On this anniversary, know student support is available through and TimelyCare. Emotional support is available to UVA faculty, staff, and their family members through FEAP.

The department is thrilled to announce that Shayn Peirce-Cottler, international leader in tissue regeneration and strong supporter of students, appointed next chair of University of Virginia biomedical engineering. Read more: https://lnkd.in/e6r8B3AE
