Health Enhancement is the health promotion department within the Division of Student Affairs at NIU. In support of the mission of Northern Illinois University, Health Enhancement strives to provide student-centered, relevant health promotion information, materials and interventions to assist students as they pursue their academic goals.
Health Enhancement is funded by a portion of the student health fee with additional funding from the NIU Student Association. The staff consists of four health educators, a health consultant, a full-time secretary, and a small group of graduate and undergraduate students.
We are located in several areas within Evans Field House on the southeast corner of Lucinda and Annie Glidden.
The entrance is located at the southeast corner of the building, across from Graham Hall.
Providing Learning Opportunities
Health Enhancement provides opportunities for NIU students to enhance their learning experiences by offering paid, part-time student worker positions, internships, and graduate assistantships. Each semester, Health Enhancement employs approximately 10-15 students to work in a variety of positions on campus including office and outreach workers, graphic and Web designers, researchers, and data analysts.
