Yale Daily News 6/1/12: Keegan's '12 story spreads. As news of Marina Keegan’s ’12 death last Saturday spread through the Yale community and digital media this week, Keegan’s friends, family and others who read her writing were working to share her story and honor her memory. Although Keegan’s memorial is scheduled for Saturday, the impact of her death has already prompted much action to commemorate her life. Keegan’s parents, Kevin and Tracy, said they are establishing a memorial fund to sponsor a Yale College prize for “excellence in playwriting,” while David Corson-Knowles ’03, who did not know Keegan personally but read her work on the News’ website, created a fund that aims to endow a staff position within the University to help students pursue careers beyond finance and consulting. And Keegan’s writings — particularly her final column, “The Opposite of Loneliness” — have gained attention worldwide as the story of her death spread through national media outlets and online social media.
