Historical records show that Ange Milner, the university's first librarian, and her lifelong friend Rachel Treakle (whose family helped found the school) once worked together collecting botanical specimens at Funks Grove and building the early herbarium at ISNU; the documents reveal key moments in their personal and professional lives. These records add new insight into how their bond influenced campus history.

McLean County Sheriff Matt Lane confirmed his office is investigating allegations that school officials misused public funds to promote a website urging voters to consider a 1% sales tax on retail purchases—an action that may breach Illinois law ahead of the April 1 ballot.

Hopedale Medical Foundation scholarship applications are open through April 7—over $20,000 in agriculture and health care scholarships will be awarded to high school seniors, college freshmen and current employees.
