We have learned that Kendra Chan, a ΢Ƶ alumna, and her father Raymond “Scott” Chan, of Los Altos, were among the victims of the tragic Conception dive boat fire off the coast of Southern California. Our entire ΢Ƶ community mourns with their family and friends. 

Kendra’s fascination with marine ecology will continue to inspire everyone she touched. She pursued her scientific curiosity with great zest at ΢Ƶ, 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 ΢Ƶ. We are grateful for her contributions to our campus community and her dedication to creating a healthier planet. We will remember her.
