Many many students, faculty and staff made a beautiful Memorial Video for Professor Igor Ivkovic which was enjoyed live by nearly 600 people on March 31, 2021. The video was so fitting a tribute to Igor’s generous roles in our community and in all of our lives. He will be greatly missed. The video can still be watched at the following link:
