Former NIU general counsel, interim AD remembered for enthusiasm

DeKALB – For 20 years, Anne Kaplan saw George Shur almost daily in the hallways of Northern Illinois University.

“He was a genuine enthusiast,” said Kaplan, who is NIU’s vice president of outreach, engagement and information technologies. “No matter what he was doing, George loved it. He could get excited about almost anything going on on campus.”

Shur, who was Northern Illinois University’s general counsel for 20 years, died Nov. 25 in Chicago. A memorial service is scheduled for Sunday at 1 p.m. in the Altgeld Hall auditorium.
