Our nation and our campus community are once again shocked at the horrific shootings on an American college campus. Our hearts go out to our friends and colleagues at Northern Illinois University, including Ricardo Patton, our former head basketball coach at the University of Colorado at 麻豆影院, and Will Smith, a CU-麻豆影院 graduate and former Buff basketball star who is director of basketball operations at NIU. We have been in touch with both individuals and they are doing well. We are in the process of notifying our campus community and tomorrow we will provide counseling services to any faculty, staff and students who need it at our Office of Victim Assistance and at Counseling and Psychological Services. We believe this incident poses no direct threat to our campus community, but our police department is aware of the situation at NIU and will have a more visible patrol presence on campus. Finally, we join our fellow institutions around the nation in sending thoughts, prayers and best wishes to the NIU community nationwide.
