Subject: UIS community invited to view NIU Memorial Service Sunday at 7 p.m.

UIS is honored to be one of the public gathering places for the live broadcast of Northern Illinois University’s Memorial Service for the victims of the February 14 tragedy on campus. UIS students, faculty, staff, and alumni are invited to attend.

The broadcast of the service is scheduled for Sunday, February 24, 2008 beginning at 7:00 p.m. in Brookens Auditorium.

NIU asked UIS to host a public site for the memorial service especially so that NIU alumni and friends would have a place to gather.

“We will welcome all NIU alumni and those with ties to the university and encourage the members of our own campus community to join them in remembering the young people who died,” said Chancellor Richard Ringeisen. “What happened at NIU last week was a tragedy for all of us.”

The UIS Alumni Association and UIS Student Affairs Office will act as hosts for the evening. NIU also is making plans to stream the service live on its Web site, www.niu.edu.
