"I myself have yet to formulate an opinion on the move due to the fact that I'm unfamiliar with many of the economic concepts involved," he said. His discussion series would be community driven and help bring transparency to a complex issue. Wielgos, a 2020 graduate of Buffalo Grove High School, said most of the community events relating to the Bears' suburban relocation, to date, have been held by organizations with an agenda to either support or halt the move. The university announced this week Wielgos is one of three inaugural recipients of the Paul Simon Democracy Prize, which is given to Illinois college or university students to design and implement projects to revitalize democracy in their communities. To help pay for expenses like room reservations, equipment, speaker fees and marketing, Wielgos has a $5,000 prize from the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. He's planning at least two public events sometime around August and September - possibly at Harper College in Palatine, where he attended until 2021, and at UIC.
