A memorial service for BU student Jai Menon (CAS’19), who died last month, has been scheduled for Sunday, April 17.
The service will begin at 3 p.m. at the Ellipse, the ground floor lounge at the Yawkey Center for Student Services, 100 Bay State Road. One or more members of Menon’s family will offer reflections, as well as three of his BU friends: Christopher Seto (ENG’19), Cooper Kotzan (CAS’19), and Melissa Tomashek (CAS’19). The Rev. Robert Allan Hill, dean of Marsh Chapel, and Brother Lawrence Whitney (STH’09,’15), University chaplain for community life, will offer prayers.
Cellist Denise Fan (CFA’13,’18) will play Bach’s Suite No. 1 in G Major, BWV 1007, at the nonsectarian service. A reception for family and friends will be held after the service.
Menon, who lived in Warren Towers, was found dead at Kilachand Hall on March 30. Police ruled that his death was not suspicious. The Briarcliff Manor, N.Y., resident was majoring in economics.
