We’ve all watched the horrific events of recent weeks at Northern Illinois University with shock and sadness. The shootings there hit terribly close to home when we were informed that Patrick Korellis, an NIU intern in our office just last semester, had been among those wounded. Patrick is home and doing well for which we are grateful. But our hearts stopped here when we first heard the news and we feel profound sadness for the family and friends of those who lost their lives in the senseless shooting at Cole Hall there.
When these photos arrived from Kenny Chmielewski, a meteorology student at NIU, I just had to post these for you to see. They signify that the NIU spirit is alive. Kenny, we thank you for sharing these shots with us! Stay warm and let all know there we are thinking of all of you in these difficult times!
