The University of Detroit Mercy community lost a dear student in Adia Palmer, who passed away unexpectedly in March 2022.
Remembered as “a light at the University” by her classmates, Adia was heavily involved at Detroit Mercy, including as a communications major, library student assistant, poet, Varsity News writer and photographer, TENN volunteer, warrior for food justice and most important, a true friend.
Referred to as “creative, thoughtful and just a good person to be around,” by her professors, Adia’s quiet strength, sensitivity and humor are missed by so many at the McNichols Campus.
To honor Adia’s legacy of creativity, inspiration and elevation, as well as her desire to spread joy, peace and love to make the world a better place, funds are being raised to establish the Adia J. Palmer Memorial Scholarship.
This Giving Tuesday, visit the Adia J. Palmer Memorial Scholarship fundraising page and place consider a donation, as well as learning more about Adia’s impact at Detroit Mercy and the many communities that she touched.
