Today, we honor the 120 transgender individuals whose murders were reported in the past year, and those whose murders may not have been reported to police or the news service.

For a complete list of names and more information, visit the official Transgender Day of Remembrance site here.

If you are on campus, please take a moment to visit our memorial in the Campus Center. There you can see the faces, names, and stories of those who lost their lives this year due to violence, transphobia, and hate.
