Celebration of Life for Jan Tullis

We invite friends, family, and partners to join the DEEPS community in celebrating the life and legacy of our colleague and dear friend, Jan Tullis.

Professor Jan Tullis, a beloved member of the Brown University community, passed away suddenly on September 15, 2024. Jan was celebrated around the world as a legendary scientist, an exceptional teacher, and beloved advisor who remained engaged in mentoring and contributing to our community until just before her death. | Read more 

Join us for an evening memorial reception and special lunchtime picnic celebrating Jan’s life and legacy. Share in uplifting conversation, memories, and a special community art project in honor of our colleague and dear friend. Refreshments will be provided; all are welcome.

During the Friday Reception, there will be an Opportunity to Speak for those who would like to share a memory of Jan. We ask that you keep your remarks brief (less than 2 minutes) to allow more people to participate. If you would like to indicate your wish to speak ahead of the event, please sign-up online and also check-in at the welcome table upon arriving at the event.
