Pacific University to Dedicate Memorial Bench to Honor Fallen Students Kiden Dilla and Ayan Osman

Pacific University will dedicate a memorial bench in honor of former students Kiden Dilla and Ayan Osman at 3 p.m. Tuesday, April 7 on the Forest Grove Campus. The date marks the one-year anniversary of the fatal car accident at the intersection of Highway 47 and Verboort Road that killed Dilla and Osman, who were commuting to campus together.

The ceremony is open to the public and will take place on the walkway south of the library. It will include a recognition of community service initiatives the Dilla and Osman families and university's Black Student Union have undertaken in the two students' names. A reception will follow in the Kathrin Cawein Gallery located in nearby Pacific Hall.
