UNL to Honor Students by Turning Fountain Red

UNLLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The water in Broyhill Fountain on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s City Campus is being turned red in honor of all of the students who have died in the past year.

The ceremony, which is being called the Red Memorial, will take place Friday in the university’s Nebraska Union Plaza. The school’s dean of students said red lights will illuminate the fountain’s water to honor students who died during the 2014-15 school year.

The nondenominational service will include a reading of the students’ names, UNL choral group performance and a meditation by the Rev. Adam White of the UNL Lutheran Center.

This is the first Red Memorial that the school has held, and it will be open to all students and the public.
