Memorials Planned for Shirley Ladd

The University of Maine Division of Student Affairs invites members of the campus community to a memorial service from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 7 in the Memorial Union chapel for Shirley Ladd, a UMaine student who died this summer as a result of a fall from a ledge in Acadia National Park. An informal gathering afterward in Union’s Senior Skulls Room will provide a time for Ladd’s friends to gather, share refreshments and view a slideshow. Students and staff at UMaine’s New Balance Student Recreation Center, where Ladd was a student employee, will plant a tree in Ladd’s memory in a 6 p.m. ceremony.
