Thursday, June 30, 5:30-6:30 p.m.
Student Union, The Den
UAA students, staff, faculty and community members are invited to a gathering to remember James L. Crump, to be held at the Student Union Den on Thursday, June 30, from 5:30-6:30 p.m. James was killed on June 25 during the PrideFest parade held in downtown Anchorage. In December 2009, James graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing from UAA.
That fall, he and his nursing classmates worked on a capstone project preparing Bhutanese refugees for their first winter in Alaska. The successful project was documented in an 8-minute video now archived on UAA's You Tube channel. James appears several times in the video, including at 1:18, 2:30 and during a skit at 3:11.
After graduating from UAA, James worked as a lab assistant for the School of Nursing in 2010 before being employed as a registered nurse with Anchorage's Department of Health and Human Services. Since then, James kept in close contact with his UAA friends and colleagues.
Student Health & Counseling Center staff members will be present at the remembrance to provide support.
