Welcome to Northern Illinois University! I am proud to be president of an institution that enjoys a century-long reputation for excellence in teaching, discovery and outreach.
As the suburban Chicago area's premier public university, we serve one of the nation's largest and most dynamic regions. More than 25,000 students study here, and nearly 200,000 alumni call NIU their alma mater.
Whether you are exploring NIU as a prospective student, looking to reconnect with fellow alumni, or simply seeking information on one of the nation's leading universities, we're glad you're here.
The president will deliver his address at 3 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 25, 2008 in the Altgeld Hall Auditorium.
A reception will follow.
