Tragedy at Northern Illinois University

On behalf of the students, faculty, staff, and alumni of the Colorado State University System, I offer our deepest condolences to the Northern Illinois University community and all those affected by this tragedy. We also extend a sincere offer of support and assistance in whatever way might be needed during this challenging time. A university campus should be a place of reflection, honor, and respect, and when this environment is so senselessly shattered, all of us in higher education share the burden of this devastating loss. As a community, our hearts and thoughts go out to our colleagues and fellow students in Illinois.
