Terrific “Amazingrace” [fall 2011] article. It was a very special and inspiring place. I went there as a high school kid (Shanley Hall) and then as an undergraduate (the Main). It was a wonderful part of Northwestern. Great to read up on “The ’Gracers: Where Are They Now?” on the magazine website.

Thank you for the excellent article on Dr. Justin Zivin ["A Stroke of Genius," fall 2011] and his contribution to the development of tPA for stroke intervention.
I am a speech-language pathologist at the University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview, and have been a part of our stroke center committee for many years. We use tPA essentially every day to treat patients who are able to get to our hospital by ground or air in enough time to be treated. I cannot even imagine the number of people whose lives have been saved and who have had significantly better outcomes due to use of this drug. Through your publication of the article and the illustration, Northwestern magazine likely informed many alumni and their families about stroke and tPA.
Many on our team have seen the Northwestern article. All have said that the information graphic on page 33 is one of the best pieces of stroke education we have seen.
