Brehm Perseveres in Time of Adversity

Last week, the Southern Illinois region experienced a series of severe spring storms. The most significant, experts are calling a derecho, which is a widespread, sustained and violent windstorm. The storm left parts of Southern Illinois without electricity for nearly a week. 

While Brehm campus did sustain some damage, there was no major devastation, injuries or otherwise. The Brehm family took this opportunity to pull together and support one another in this time of need. Overall, we were prepared for this unpredictable event. 

Immediately following the storm, staff assess the damage. 

Like the rest of the region, Brehm endured uprooted trees and snapped branches.

As skies began to clear, debris cluttered campus. 

Faculty and staff joined forces to rejuvenate campus. 

Many students volunteered to help clean up their campus.
