Remembering Posse graduate Darrell Foster

University of Wisconsin–Madison alumnus Darrell Foster is being remembered throughout the Madison and Washington D.C. areas as a scholar, a friend and an influential force on and off campus. Foster, 22, passed away on July 2 during preparation for surgery. Friends and faculty describe Foster’s passing as a huge loss to the communities of scholars, students and alumni on campus, as well as his family and close friends. Foster graduated in May of 2020 as a Posse scholar with a degree in biology from the College of Agricultural & Life Sciences and a certificate in Studio Art. He also had a passion for cooking and took culinary classes in the summer. Since then, he had been working as a phlebotomist and volunteered teaching elderly members of the Black community about health and wellness in Washington, D.C. Foster had recently taken the MCAT and applied to medical school in hopes of becoming a plastic surgeon.
