The Huskie Business Pack connects, supports, and celebrates Huskie-led businesses and nonprofits while fostering a network that inspires Huskies to start, grow, relocate, and invest in businesses and nonprofits that strengthen DeKalb County and Northern Illinois.
A thriving Huskie business and nonprofit community where alumni entrepreneurs, students, and university partners collaborate to create opportunity, strengthen alumni connections, inspire the next generation of business and nonprofit leaders, and drive the long-term economic vitality of DeKalb County and the Northern Illinois region.
A Huskie-led business is a business, nonprofit, or entrepreneurial venture in which one or more individuals who attended NIU for any period of time serve in a significant ownership or leadership role. Businesses founded by NIU alumni may continue to participate after leadership transitions, provided they maintain an ongoing relationship with the initiative or the university.
