A memorial service to remember and honor David Lupan, senior associate dean of basic science and research of the University of Nevada School of Medicine, has been scheduled for Sunday, July 1 at 3 p.m. in the 4th Floor Ballroom of the Joe Crowley Student Union.
Lupan passed away on June 23. He joined the University of Nevada School of Medicine as an assistant professor in 1973, was promoted to professor in 1989, and served for the past 10 years as senior associate dean for basic science and research.

He will be sorely missed by his colleagues, staff and students, but most of all by his family and friends."
