Once again our campuses have been visited by violence and sorrow.  When such an act occurs, it impacts all of our campuses and all of our counseling centers. I want to express to our colleagues at Northern Illnois University our sorrow and support during this difficult time, and to let them know that we will again unite as a Commission to provide any help necessary to deal with this crisis. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
