Fallen Broncos ceremony
In a ceremony at the Campus Flagpoles, Western will honor members of the University community who have passed away. The ceremony will recognize by name those Broncos whose family members have given us permission to do so. In the event of inclement weather, the event will take place in the President's Dining Room in the Bernhard Center. All WMU employees and students as well as family members of the deceased are invited to participate. Held once in the fall and once in the spring, the Fallen Broncos ceremony honors students, faculty, staff and members of the Board of Trustees who passed away while active members of the University community. The Faculty Senate developed the ceremony in collaboration with several WMU offices and organizations.
