Spend an evening with your favorite #bannedbooks! Hosted by @ShimerSchool at North Central College, students are invited to meet faculty and current students and learn how Shimer keeps banned books in the conversation. Reserve your spot on 10/3: bit.ly/3PszrTX.

It’s especially hard not to ‘fall’ in love with campus during this time of year. ❤️🍂
A photo of campus during the fall. There are red biking lining the sidewalk and yellow and orange leaves on the ground. The sun is shining through the trees.

This moment is, understandably, grueling in just about every aspect possible for so many people. So today I want to address our broader efforts during this crisis to protect the physical and mental health of communities throughout our state.
