Human Resource Services preparing for new welcome event.
Human Resource Services is preparing to launch a monthly Huskie Welcome event for new employees this fall. This event will highlight what it means to be a Huskie and provide new employees with resources and assistance in acclimating to campus.
As part of the event, we are considering hosting a Resource Fair which would allow groups, departments, and/or offices across campus to share information about their services and resources for employees.
Areas that participate would need to commit to sending an employee from their area to staff the fair for a few hours each month (tentative dates are Aug. 21, Sept. 11, Sept. 20, Oct. 16, Nov. 13, and Dec. 11, 2023).
If your area would be interested in participating, please complete our survey by July 17.

NIU Art Museum’s “Art to Lend” selection period open now through July 14
The NIU Art Museum’s annual “Art to Lend” 2023 selection period is now open for faculty and staff on campus. This annual service allows individuals and departments to enhance their private offices and the administrative areas of the university by renting original works of art. Artwork enriches the university’s welcoming nature for students, faculty and staff as well as brightens the experience for public visitors and provides daily enjoyment in the workplace. Each work meant for public display was carefully selected by museum staff for its broad appeal and its ability to be on loan for up to eight years. Learn more by visiting the NIU Arts Blog.
