ESC and CCSC Presidents Peter Valeiras and George Krebs announced an event honoring the life of Eric Harms, the Columbia student who recently passed away. The remembrance of Harms’ life will be on Monday, February 9th in Low Plaza and is open to the Columbia Community. Full email after the jump.                    

Dear Columbia Community,

Eric Harms was a great person and friend who touched many of our lives in different ways. Whether it was through his acting, his work with student organizations, or his music, he made each and every person around him feel comfortable.  Eric put smiles on the faces of those who were lucky enough to come in contact with him.

We want to invite you to remember Eric’s life with the Columbia community on Monday, February 9 at 7:45 p.m. on Low Plaza . Together, we will celebrate Eric’s life through pictures, music, and personal reflections.  Columbia blue ribbons will be distributed to represent Eric’s love for Columbia and the impact he made during his short time here.  Our remembrance will conclude with a candlelight vigil and a moment of silence to honor Eric’s life and our memories of him.

This is an opportunity for members of the Columbia family to come together and share in the celebration of a fellow student and friend.  All are welcome. 

We hope you will join us.
