Uni graduates from the last five years returned to their alma mater last week to catch up with old friends. The latest edition of the annual alumni pizza party attracted plenty of current seniors and faculty members as well.

The bike ride, in honor of the 1999 Uni graduate's life and in remembrance of his tragic death, will leave Saturday from the Meadowbrook Park pavilion at 9 a.m. Matt died a year ago on Illinois 130 in rural Urbana. While riding his bike, he was hit by a driver who was downloading ringtones. During the past year, Matt's parents, Gloria and Chuck Wilhelm, successfully lobbied Illinois legislators to pass a law requiring driver's education courses to include instruction on the dangers of distracted driving.
