U of I Shah Has McHenry County College Connection
Niranjan Shah, the former University of Illinois Board Chairman, has a welcome connection to McHenry County.
I’m told that former McHenry County College Trustee David Murphy of Cary initiated a $500,000 pledge from Shah to help purchase the college’s Shah Center in McHenry.
It is dedicated to his wife Patrima.
