RE:	Memorial Vigil/Northern Illinois Tragedy


On Monday, February 18, the University of Illinois is hosting a 
campus/community vigil that will begin at 9:00 p.m. on the north end of 
the Quad in the wake of the February 14 shootings at Northern Illinois 
University.

The memorial vigil will enable the campus community to express solidarity 
for our colleagues at Northern Illinois University.  A threat to any 
campus community undermines the educational environment which we strive to 
protect.  

Our deepest condolences go out to the families of the victims of the 
tragedy at Northern Illinois University.  We are especially saddened that 
a member of our campus community would commit such a violent and horrific 
act.  We will come together not only to lament the losses that were 
suffered at Northern, but also to renew our commitment to ensuring an 
environment where students, faculty and staff can live, learn and work 
without being threatened by the rage and hostility of others.
