This Giving Tuesday — and throughout the holiday season — please consider donating to the Adia J. Palmer Memorial Scholarship fund, which directly benefits UDM students.
When Palmer passed away unexpectedly in March 2022, the University lost a communications major, library student assistant, poet, Varsity News writer and photographer, Titan Equity Nourish Network (TENN) volunteer, warrior for food justice and most importantly, a true friend.
Referred to as “a light at this University” by classmates, as well as “keenly perceptive but completely self-possessed” and “creative, thoughtful and just a good person to be around,” by her professors, Adia’s quiet strength, sensitivity and humor are missed at the McNichols Campus. The Libraries, Varsity News and TENN look forward to announcing the first awardees of the scholarship on Dec. 8.
To honor Palmer’s legacy of creativity, inspiration and elevation, and her desire to spread joy, peace and love to make the world a better place, funds are being raised to continue awarding this scholarship into the future. This Giving Tuesday, visit the Adia J. Palmer Memorial Scholarship fundraising page to donate and learn more about her impact on UDM’s campus and the many communities she touched.
