Parikh, a 25-year-old U-M Medical School student, died Oct. 12 from injuries suffered in a motorcycle taxi accident in Kampala, Uganda.

Parking for the memorial is available in the Thayer, Fletcher and Palmer parking structures. Memorial attendees should tell parking attendants they will be at the memorial to avoid paying special event parking fees.

A Sujal Parikh Memorial Fund has been established. Donations will help support medical student scholarships and broader global educational initiatives focusing on global health disparities and social justice issues that Sujal was most passionate about, according to Elizabeth Petty, U-M associate dean of medical school education.
