Faculty, Staff and Alumni Week at the Huskie Food Pantry (Aug. 27-29; shifts vary)
|
The beginning of the semester is an important time for students as they settle into new routines. Close to 25 NIU faculty, staff and alumni are needed to support our Huskie Food Pantry’s operations as students transition from summer break. Register to help prep our pantry or assist students as they shop through one of five shifts available between Aug. 27-29.
NIU employees can use their Huskies Give Back (volunteer leave) time to support our pantry and our students during a time when support is sorely needed. Find more information about the Huskies Give Back program, which allows employees to volunteer during regular working hours.

Maligned Foreign Talent Program Restrictions – Updated PI Certifications
|
The National Science Foundation (NSF), Department of Energy (DOE) and Department of Defense (DOD) have enacted strict prohibitions against participation in Maligned Foreign Talent Programs (MFTPs) due to concerns over national security, intellectual property theft and ethical considerations.
To manage these restrictions, SPA has updated the PI certification language in InfoEd to confirm that the PI has communicated these prohibitions to all project personnel, and that no project personnel are participating in a MFTP. Principal Investigators working with these agencies should familiarize themselves with these restrictions and inform their project personnel of them.
See the Sponsored Programs Administration Newsblog for more information.
