Goddard Chapel hosts Celebration of the Life of Lily Diana Karian

A Celebration of the Life of Lily Diana Karian will be held today at 4 p.m. in Goddard Chapel. The event, which, unlike many memorial services, is aimed at focusing on and embracing life rather than dwelling on death, is in memory of Lily Karian, a member of the Class of 2010 who committed suicide in December. In addition to recollections of Lily, the service will include prayers, music, and song. "The list of speakers is in flux and is still being compiled, but there will be speakers from Karian's family members, faculty, and students," University Chaplain David O'Leary said yesterday afternoon. He encouraged students to call him with questions or requests to participate in the service. Karian's parents, as well as other relatives and close friends, will be in attendance this afternoon. The entire Tufts community is invited to attend.
