Dear GovState Community,

Due to the forecasted inclement weather, the Village of Park Forest made the difficult decision to cancel Main Street Nights scheduled for tonight.

We truly appreciate your understanding.

Thank you for your continued support of Governors State University. We look forward to seeing you at future events and celebrations — stay tuned for more opportunities to connect!

Stay safe,

– The Alumni Association at GovState
