NIU president announces he will step down in June 2013

DeKALB – John Peters said Thursday that his final day as the president of Northern Illinois University will be June 30, 2013.

In his State of the University address, Peters counted off a list of the university's achievements since his tenure began in June of 2000. Among those achievements included an expanded university honors program and, by 2013, five new buildings on campus.

And while Peters said he still has energy for the job, he said he thinks it's his time to "pass the torch" to someone else.

What do you think of people using fireworks near their homes?

That shouldn't be tolerated. It's dangerous.
I'd never do it, but I'll watch others.
It's OK so long as the fireworks are legal.
It's not a problem. It's just a way to celebrate.
I have no opinion.
