Training a new generation of effective leaders often involves mentoring through a shared passion. It involves someone with a strong skill set who is willing to help someone else feel the spark. Sometimes, it takes more than a one-on-one relationship. WNIJ’s Susan Stephens reports, as part of our occasional series, “Pass The Torch.”

Do you know someone who is "Passing the Torch" to the next generation? Please help us share that story by emailing WNIJ Managing Editor Victor Yehling at vyehling@niu.edu. Just put "Passing the Torch" in the subject line.
