📌 5/3/2026: Rest in Peace, Kurt McMahon
Kurt wasn't just an instructor, no one at this university is just an instructor. However, not many opened themselves up the way he did. He was a beloved member of a community he had served for over half his life. He will be greatly missed by the NIU Computer Science community and beyond. Rest in peace, Kurt.
