Old College flag lowered for those lost during the pandemic

The University flag at Old College will be lowered to half-mast on Wednesday 22nd September 2021.

Due to the pandemic, over the last 18 months the University has sadly been unable to mark the passing of University staff and students on the day of their funeral in our usual way – by lowering the University flag at Old College to half-mast.

As our buildings are re-opening and our community is returning to campus, we are able to recommence this tradition of remembrance.

As a mark of respect, to remember our staff and students that have passed away during these times, the flag at Old College will be lowered to half-mast on Wednesday 22nd September 2021.

Once larger gatherings are possible, it is the University’s intention to hold an in-person memorial to enable people to come together and remember those from our University community who have passed away over the last 18 months.
