We were all saddened to learn of the tragic death of Anuj Bidve on Boxing Day. Anuj was a popular student and an active member of a number of student societies.

A memorial service is to be held on 21st January at the Chaplaincy Centre for students and staff to share their memories of Anuj and pay their respects. There is a book of condolences in Graduate College which will be sent to Anuj’s family as a tribute to their son.

Our thoughts are with Anuj’s friends and family at this difficult time.
