NIU Recognized by Three Different National Organizations

Sept. 15, 2022

 

Dear Faculty and Staff,

 

I’m excited to share that you have helped NIU earn recognition from three national organizations for how we live our values and commitment to creating a community that embraces diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. I encourage you to take a few minutes to read each of the NIU Today stories below to learn how our efforts are consistently standing out:

• The Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) Award from INSIGHT Into Diversity Magazine
• Campus Pride’s 2022 “Best of the Best” List for LGBTQ+ students
• Great Colleges to Work For

 

As I have shared before, it’s an honor when others take notice, but it’s not our motivation. We are passionate about this work because it’s at the core of who we are, what we do and the hope we have for our society. I’m immensely grateful and proud of your contributions to our university and ask that you continue to do everything you can to help NIU keep improving and moving forward.

 

Together Forward,

 

Lisa C. Freeman

President
