On Tuesday morning, October 31st, 2023, John Hagedorn died peacefully in his home with his family at his side. We deeply mourn the loss of our dear friend and colleague. John had a long-time affiliation with the Great Cities Institute and in 2016 was given the official title of James J. Stukel Senior Faculty Fellow. He was also Professor Emeritus from the Department of Criminology, Law, and Justice. We offer our deepest condolences to his wife, Mary, and to his family. On the afternoon (from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM) of April 1, 2024, at Student Center East at UIC (750 S. Halsted), we hosted, with the family, an event honoring John and his work. We featured many of his colleagues as well as former students who themselves have gone on to do incredible work in multiple arenas.

Please feel free to donate to the John Hagedorn Memorial Fund. We will use these funds to continue John’s work.
