A funeral mass for Chang H. Jo, Class of 2000, will be held today at 10 a.m. in St. Paul's church on Bow Street.
A reception will follow in the Kirkland House Junior Common Room at about 11:30 a.m. Both are open to the public.
Jo, a biochemistry concentrator, was found unconscious in his Kirkland House room early last Thursday.
He died at Mt. Auburn Hospital later that morning. College officials called his death an apparent suicide.
Friends last week said Jo was helpful, friendly and "brilliant all-around." While at Harvard, Jo a native of California, did research on the cellular mechanisms of the immune system and played the viola in the Mozart Symphony Orchestra and the recent Dunster House opera.
Jo leaves two parents, Kuk Nam and Jong Geum Jo of Cerritos, Calif., and an older brother, Chang B. Jo '93, of New York City.
The mass will include readings by several undergraduates.
