Marymount University held its annual Remembrance Day on Sunday, honoring a late student known for her generosity of spirit, reflecting on other departed members of the university family and community, and joining together in service to others.<\/p>\n

Sponsored by the Student Government Association, the day began with a 10 a.m. Mass of Remembrance in the Sacred Heart of Mary Chapel.<\/p>\n

\u0093Mass was a new addition this year, since the event was previously held on Saturdays,\u0094 said Christa McMahon<\/a>, assistant director of the school\u0092s Campus Ministry. \u0093It was a very positive and communal way to kick off the day.\u0094<\/p>\n

Afterward, 35 volunteers went to the Lee Center on campus, where they packaged meals for the Chesapeake Branch of the Volunteers of America, which provides substance abuse recovery and homeless services for single adults. A luncheon followed.<\/p>\n

The first Remembrance Day occurred 10 years ago, when several classmates of Tara Howard came together in a service project in her memory. A freshman studying graphic design, Tara had been killed that January in a car accident while home on break. She had received numerous awards, including scholarships, for her work with the homeless, the elderly, and abused women.<\/p>\n

\u0093There was not a disadvantaged group whom Tara\u0092s heart didn\u0092t go out to,\u0094 her obituary read. \u0093There weren’t enough hours in the day for Tara to help. She felt she was blessed and wanted to pass that on.\u0094<\/p>\n

Her parents, Bill and Linda Howard of Eldersburg, Maryland, attend Remembrance Day each year. He coined the phrase \u0093Tara-rific\u0094 to describe those serving others.<\/p>\n

\u0093She made quite an impression during her time on campus,\u0094 McMahon said. \u0093Each year it changes a little bit. Each year it grows. This year we remembered others \u0085 staff, faculty, friends. It makes it even more special because her legacy is growing.\u0094<\/p>\n
