Peace Fires

Just north of the NEIU Physical Education Complex stands a tree with a scar on its north side, where a lightning bolt once struck. Below the branches of this tree is where peace fires have been lit on the Northeastern Illinois campus for the last 14 years. It is a place where people gather to reflect and share about their lives in the company of an accepting community.

Dan Creely, Jr., professor, health, physical education, recreation, and athletics, has played an instrumental role in the lighting of the peace fires on campus. Creely believes that Northeastern Illinois is a special place to be able to teach the value of peace.
