The competition was stiff, the nominees anxious, and the room rife with anticipation as the Downers Grove Chamber Choice Awards were announced this week at the DoubleTree Guest Suites and Conference Center. Midwestern University was one of the finalists in the Community Contribution Award/Philanthropic Category and I had the pleasure of being at the MWU table to root us on.

There is a "note" making its way around Facebook, where, once tagged, you have to write 25 random things about yourself. I have actually learned quite a lot about some of my friends through this process, so I thought I would write a list for MWU.

Glendale is home not only to Midwestern University but also the stadium of the Arizona Cardinals. This year, like much of football-loving America, I became a fan.
