Northern Today to add ‘Passages’

Northern Today adds new column Members of the NIU campus community will soon have a formal mechanism for submitting information on the passing of former colleagues.

Beginning with our next issue – Monday, Jan. 26 – we will introduce “Passages,” a new column that will briefly note deaths of current and formers members of our campus community.

Each item will receive a one-line treatment – “John Public, who worked in the University Libraries from 1947 to 1982, died March 16 in Miami, Fla. He was 78” – and will only be accepted via e-mail.

Those employees who hear of deaths of former colleagues and wish to report them must include the name of a newspaper that printed an obituary or the name of the funeral home for confirmation.

Please contact us at northerntoday@niu.edu. Type “Passages” in the subject line.
