The university’s iconic Trent Building is set to be lit up in yellow this Wednesday (23 March 2022) in recognition of Marie Curie’s National Day of Reflection.

To mark the two-year anniversary of the first UK lockdown, end of life charity Marie Curie has organised a National Day of Reflection – a day to show support to the millions of people who have been bereaved during the pandemic and to reflect on the lives of those who have died.

There are lots of ways to take part, from joining the minute’s silence at 12 noon, to hosting a Wall of Reflection and catching an inspiring online talk.

The university will be joining a host of other organisations in lighting up their buildings in yellow – you can find a list of everyone taking part here.

This is the second year that the university has taken part in the National Day of Reflection with academic experts giving their insights into the pandemic last year.
