Every great organization has its legends. Starting this fall, Northern Star alums will have a new way to formally honor those who have excelled at the Star and in subsequent careers: The Northern Star Hall of Fame.
At May's Northern Star Alumni Board meeting, Mike Korcek explained how the NIU Athletics Hall of Fame works, and suggested the Star could establish a similar honor. The board enthusiastically agreed, and directed a committee to begin working on it. Korcek, NIU's sports information director, will help lead that effort.
The hall of fame committee will meet July 13 to devise a structure and
a process for this annual undertaking. If you have ideas, please contact
Korcek at (815) 753-1706, or e-mail him at mkorcek@niu.edu.
Hold off on nominations for now, though. The committee will announce criteria
and a nomination / selection period by early fall.
