Governor Pat Quinn of Illinois

The Governor of Illinois was on the Loyola University Chicago Campus last night at the invitation of student Democrats. I liked Quinn, but I really enjoyed the moxee of the young people who pulled this off. One of the students simply got in a meet and greet line months back and when it was his turn to talk, he asked the CEO of Illinois to visit. Boom. Done. Nice job College Democrats. Good lesson for my students. You have to ask!quinn

Thursday night lights

rsl Every Thursday evening the 40 or so students that make up the Rambler Sports Locker walk in the door at 4:15 to produce a show that didn’t exist three and a half years ago. The all volunteer crew is incredibly bright and hard working and content is coming along. Any student can join the show and every person that walks in the door gets a standing ovation. It’s the culture of welcome and inclusion the students at Loyola University Chicago have embraced. In less than two weeks, I’ll travel with five students to cover the league finals call “Arch Madness” because it is played in St. Louis. Extremely proud of this group.

Ukrainian protestors peacefully march on Chicago consulate

About 350-400 Ukrainian protestors gathered at the Water Tower and then marched about a half mile to the Ukraine Consulate. Their goal was to raise awareness about what they say has been the slaughter of innocents and the tyranny of a dictator who went back on his word. As of this moment there is news of a possible settlement between opposition forces in Kiev and the president, but it’s a fluid situation. Some Ukrainian protestors say there can be no deal until Ukrainian Pres Viktor F Yanukovych is either dead or leaves office.
