GSSM To Host Celebration Of Life For Beloved Teacher, Dr. Bhuvana Parameswaran

The South Carolina Governor’s School for Science and Mathematics (GSSM) will host a Celebration of Life ceremony on Nov. 13, 2024, honoring the late Dr. Bhuvana Parameswaran, a cherished and long-serving member of the GSSM faculty. The ceremony will be held from 1 to 2 p.m. in the GSSM Campus gym, where students, alumni, faculty, and the public are invited to gather to remember and celebrate Dr. Bhuvana’s life and legacy.

Dr. Bhuvana, who taught in the Biology Department, joined GSSM in 1998, where she served as faculty lead for the Health Occupations Students of America and Asian Culture clubs. Over her remarkable 25-year tenure, Dr. Bhuvana made an indelible impact on her students and colleagues alike. Her sudden passing on October 14 at the age of 64 has left the GSSM community deeply saddened.

“Dr. Bhuvana’s over two decades of service to GSSM has impacted students, colleagues, and families in countless ways. So many of our graduates attribute their current studies or employment to Bhuvana’s class and passion for her subject,” shared Danny Dorsel, GSSM President and a member of the Class of 1990. “Bhuvana’s passing is a significant loss to the GSSM community, but knowing her, she would want us to continue working hard and getting better, and so we will.”
