COD Seeking Information on Former Students and Alumni who have Fallen in the Line of Duty

College of DuPage is seeking information on former students and alumni who have sacrificed their lives in the line of duty as firefighters, police officers and members of the military.

To commemorate these fallen heroes, the College is building an honorarium, to be located in the SSG Robert J. Miller Homeland Security Education Center, in recognition of COD students who have given their lives in the service and protection of others.

"The SSG Robert J. Miller Homeland Security Education Center was built to train and support first responders and law enforcement personnel and to provide the best preparation possible for people who have dedicated themselves to serving others in our communities, our nation and throughout the world," said COD President Dr. Ann Rondeau. "This wall honors our alumni who have made the ultimate sacrifice through their commitment to protecting and helping those in need."

The College asks that anyone who knows of a former student or alumni who has fallen while in service as a firefighter, police officer, or member of the military to please contact Jose Alferez at alferezj@cod.edu or (630) 942-2444.
