About

The U.S. Constitution mandates that a census takes place every ten years to count every person in the country. The census counts every person living in the U.S. once, only once, and in the right place. A committee of university staff and DeKalb community leaders has been tasked with ensuring that NIU has a complete count in the 2020 Census.
