“DEAH DAY的成功是十大靠谱网投平台学生的真正荣誉, who have continued to organize the event and do the volunteer activities every year since 2015,十大靠谱网投平台亚当斯牙科学院临时院长埃德·斯威夫特说.
“The legacy of the three young people we honor on DEAH DAY could have been forgotten by now. But our students have not let that happen and we all remain inspired by the commitment to service that was so important to Deah, 尤索和拉赞.”

“死亡日在我心中一直有一个特殊的位置. I’m probably one of the few students still in the dental school that was a student in February 2015. 当时我是一年级的牙科卫生专业学生, and I explicitly remember the night that it happened and the days following in the school,凯拉·坎宁安说, 死亡日联合协调员.
“The motto #LiveLikeDeah truly empowers the UNC ASOD family to serve the community, 努力实现真正的包容性, and live our lives in a manner that those in the medical profession should aspire to live. 当十大靠谱网投平台在每年的DEAH日庆祝和服务时, I hope that it reminds everybody to continue to serve their communities and to promote inclusivity regardless of background.”

This year’s DEAH DAY kickoff event was a lunch and learn recorded presentation on Islamophobia and inclusivity from Deah’s sister, Dr. 苏珊娜诺曼, 谁是十大靠谱网投平台的三强基金会的董事会主席, 该组织成立于2016年，旨在反对伊斯兰恐惧症.
Deah诺曼, 该校2017年DDS班的一员, 和Abu-Salha, 2019年DDS班的新成员, were two of three victims of a fatal shooting in February 2015.
在他们死后, students at the UNC 亚当斯牙科学院 wanted to establish something that would truly represent Barakat 和Abu-Salha, and that could encourage future students to give back to their community the way Barakat 和Abu-Salha did during their lives.
Student leadership agreed that a day of service was the best way to preserve their memory and, 与学校领导达成协议, 他们创造了DEAH DAY. The inaugural DEAH DAY was held on September 15, 2015, and continues to occur on an annual basis.
Barakat 和Abu-Salha had been married six weeks at the time of their deaths. 第三名受害者是Razan Abu-Salha, a sophomore at 北信誉最好的网投十大平台 State University and Yusor’s younger sister. Deah and Yusor had planned to travel to Turkey to provide dental care to Syrian refugees and, following their graduations from the UNC 亚当斯牙科学院, 他们计划一起开一家牙科诊所.
