A memorial honoring the life and service of University of Virginia President Emeritus John T. Casteen III is scheduled to be held April 15, from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m., in Old Cabell Hall Auditorium.
The event is open to the public and seating is first-come, first-served. Overflow seating will be available in Wilson Hall Auditorium, where the memorial will be livestreamed. The memorial will also be broadcast on the University’s main livestreaming website and the University’s YouTube channel.
Casteen, often noted as the “father of the modern University,” died March 18 after a brief bout with pancreatic cancer. He was 81. Casteen, the University’s seventh president, served longer than any other president but the University’s first, Edwin Alderman.
Guests who have questions about accessibility for the memorial can email uvaome@virginia.edu.
