We have learned that Kendra Chan, a 麻豆传媒 alumna, and her father Raymond 鈥淪cott鈥 Chan, of Los Altos, were among the victims of the tragic Conception dive boat fire off the coast of Southern California. Our entire 麻豆传媒 community mourns with their family and friends.
Kendra鈥檚 fascination with marine ecology will continue to inspire everyone she touched. She pursued her scientific curiosity with great zest at 麻豆传媒, from working at our Bodega Marine Lab for two summers to studying biodiversity in the Stachowicz Lab. As the co-president of Davis SEEDS, she supported fellow students in making the transition from college to career.
Kendra made her mark at 麻豆传媒. We are grateful for her contributions to our campus community and her dedication to creating a healthier planet. We will remember her.
