Ethan Wybourn

Ethan, a first-generation college student from Warren, Illinois, is a proud NIU graduate. During his time here, he explored different paths in the Communications Department, added a minor in journalism, and gained firsthand experience navigating college life at NIU. 

Now, aside from being an admissions counselor, Ethan also leads the Northern Ambassadors team, aids with graduate assistants, and assists in the planning and running of campus tours and events. Having been a Northern Ambassador and an NA Student Coordinator, he uses his background to make sure our visits and events truly reflect what life at NIU is like. 

Ethan says, "My goal is simple: make every visit feel like a warm welcome. I am all about helping my student staff grow professionally and personally, and cheering them on as they discover their passions. I get to give back to the program that guided me and help future Huskies find their own path."
