Aurora University's students, faculty, staff and administration send
their heartfelt thoughts and sympathies to the Northern Illinois
University community. We were all shocked to learn of the tragedy at yet
another institution of higher learning. The fact that it happened so
close by only deepens and personalizes this horrible event for the AU
community.

We will continue to keep the NIU campus community and their families in
our thoughts and prayers.

President
