Join Us

The Northern Illinois Center for Community Sustainability (NICCS) continues to grow with the support and advocacy of our stakeholders. NICCS research, outreach, education and community development rely on the contributions of our faculty, staff, students, corporate partners, government agencies and community members. By combining our talents, research interests and influence, NICCS becomes a source of environmental sustainability, economic growth and social equity.

Do you have an interest in sustainability; peri-urban studies; or environmental, economic and equity impact in our region? We’re interested in hearing from you. If you share our vision, mission and values for NIICCS, we invite you to join us.
