Funeral arrangements are now complete for Dr. Michael Moody, Olin's VP for Academic Affairs, who passed away Thursday. A funeral Mass will be held Monday, January 25, at 10 am at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 1360 Highland Avenue in Needham. Olin community members are encouraged to carpool due to limited parking; contact Pat Berardi at x2429 for carpooling help. A funeral procession will travel from the church to Mt. Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, where the interment will be held. A reception will take place following the interment at the Babson Executive Conference Center at Babson College. All these events are open to anyone who wishes to attend.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Michael Moody Faculty Chair Fund at Olin College: https://www.olin.edu/giving/donation.aspx (Designation: unrestricted; Comment: "for Moody Chair Fund"); or to Harvey Mudd College for the Michael Moody Mathematics Lecture Series: http://www.hmc.edu/giving/waystogive/moodygiving.html.
