Art show to honor ‘Timi’ Okedina

By Northern Star staff

An art show will be held in honor of Oluwarotimi “Timi” Okedina on Wednesday.

The show will be held 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Stevenson Smart Classroom, and will display Okedina’s art and poetry, said Student Association Senator Jessica McKay at an SA Senate meeting Sunday. Okedina fell from the 11th floor of a tower at Stevenson Hall on Sept. 26. He later died from his injuries at Kishwaukee Hospital.

“There’s just so much to say about Timi,” said Abraham Murguia, sophomore physical therapy major, according to an Oct. 1 Northern Star article. “He was artistically talented, loved to paint. He did spoken poetry and freestyle rapping.”
