"The Golden Taps ceremony gives the university community the opportunity to formally remember and reflect on the lives of students who have recently died," said Tom Paczolt, manager of Cary Quad. "Golden Taps will be conducted, when necessary, on the second Tuesday of each month during the academic year. All Purdue students and staff are invited to be present for the brief ceremony."
