Northwestern Football will play a majority of its games this season at the Lanny & Sharon Martin athletics facility on the Evanston campus. ๐๐
The temporary structure built at the facility will provide a stunning backdrop for the 2024 & 2025 seasons:
We are deeply saddened to share that Peter Salvino, a third-year doctoral student who went missing early Sunday morning and was found and identified Tuesday evening, has passed away.
Our most heartfelt condolences go out to Peterโs family and friends.
Persons in Englehart Hall at the corner of Emerson Street and Maple Avenue should remain behind locked doors. Northwestern community members not in that area no longer need to stay behind locked doors. Anyone not in the area of Engelhart Hall should stay away.
The emergency near the Evanston Campus has been lifted and is all clear. There is no danger to life safety at this time and no longer a need to shelter in place. Police are confident the suspects are no longer in the area. We thank you again for your cooperation.
2/2 While weโll continue to review all applicant and admitted-student disciplinary actions on a case-by-case basis, rest assured that a school-issued penalty for peaceful participation in such protests will not jeopardize your admission to Northwestern.
