In Memory

It's been a week since the the shooting at NIU. Word spreads really quickly among colleges. We heard about the shooting within minutes.

With Dekalb and the NIU shooting only a couple of short hours away, Springfield College - Benectine University had our own tragedy this weekend. Six kids were in a one-car crash in Logan County. Four of them died. The car hit a tree and burnt up. One of the girls that was killed was a student here and the two boys that did miraculously survive are also students. One, Zach, was our Adult Programs student worker last semester. He is still in horrible shape, but now upgraded to serious from critical condition. The flags are flying at half-mast in memory of the students at NIU, but on the campus of SC-BU, it also represents the memory of Katelyn McCarty.
