The College of Natural Sciences at Cal State San Bernardino will host the annual Day of Remembrance event at 3 p.m. Monday, Dec. 2, at the Peace Garden to honor the 14 individuals — including five Department of Biology and Department of Health Science alumni — who were killed in 2015 during a mass shooting in San Bernardino.

The Peace Garden, located on the south side of the Chemical Sciences building, was planted in memory of the fallen alumni. As part of the cermony, a bell will be rung 14 times to mark each victim.

The Day of Remembrance will memorialize the following college alumni:

  • Robert Adams, Yucaipa (public health education, 2011)
  • Juan Espinoza, Highland (biology, 2002)
  • Shannon Johnson, Los Angeles (environmental health science, 2004)
  • Yvette Velasco, Fontana (environmental health science, 2013)
  • Michael Wetzel, Lake Arrowhead (biology, 2001)

The Peace Garden features a five-sided pedestal topped by a bell, with each side featuring a plaque with the name and degree information for each alumnus.

The other individuals who will be honored that day are Isaac Amanios, Fontana; Bennett Bet-Badal, Rialto; Harry Bowman, Upland; Sierra Clayborn, Moreno Valley; Aurora Godoy, San Jacinto; Larry Daniel Kaufman, Rialto; Damien Meins, Riverside; Tin Nguyen, Santa Ana; and Nicholas Thalasinos, Colton.

All 14 individuals were San Bernardino County Department of Public Health employees who were attending a training session and holiday gathering at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino on Dec. 2, 2015.

The event is traditionally attended by college faculty and staff, university leadership, and surviving family members and loved ones of the alumni.
