Music was a huge, joyous, important part of Ethan's life. He had a beautiful expressive voice & huge range. University of Michigan MPulse youth vocal music summer camp was the highlight of his singing experience both years he attended. Those summer weeks were among the happiest of his life. He came home fired up and excited. He loved the camaraderie, the dedication, the hard work, the inspired teachers, the friends that meant so much to him. He was dazzled by the preview of college life camp provided, and getting to hang out in Ann Arbor. And he really loved the music the group created -- hearts wide open, singing directly from their souls as a multifaceted, nuanced, powerful whole. 

Ethan was also passionate about social justice. He was the most empathetic person I've ever known, ever since he was tiny. He wanted everyone to have opportunities, fun,  love. He was sweet and kind. He really cared, and he let people know it.

Ethan would be so proud to know he had a scholarship to his beloved MPulse program in his name, established so that more talented kids had a chance to enjoy the magical summer singing experiences that meant so much to him. Please help set up a memorial endowment to provide funding for students in need. We, his family, would be so grateful to know that Ethan's warm heart and sweet voice could carry on in this legacy.

With the rapid spread of COVID-19 throughout our communities, the staff members at Michigan Medicine have been doing everything they can to treat patients and save lives.

In order to promote social distancing and prevent further spread of the virus, all student organizations at the University of Michigan have had their events cancelled for the rest of the semester. The University of Michigan chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has decided to contribute our remaining funds towards supporting the Michigan Medicine COVID-19 Emergency Fund.

By donating to the Michigan Medicine COVID-19 Emergency Fund, you can support decreasing the turnaround time for COVID-19 testing, additional staffing to care for patients, the purchase of equipment to care for patients, the establishment of more drive-through testing stations, and a broad range of emerging opportunities to advance patient care and research.

ASME will match up to $1000 in donations in order to encourage our community to support our medical workers.

If you are able, please help us contribute to our hospitals as they work curb the effects of this global pandemic.

Stay safe and healthy, & Go Blue!
