Members of the Northern Illinois University community are partners with the NIU leadership in creating a positive NIU experience. With that in mind, Executive Vice President and Provost Elish-Piper invites NIU faculty, staff, students, alumni and community members to meet with her during scheduled office hours. Provost Elish-Piper welcomes respectful, open dialogue about Academic Affairs at NIU and working together to move NIU forward.
Meetings will be held virtually through Microsoft Teams and limited to 15 minutes. Meetings should typically include one person, but consideration for groups up to three will be made based on the topic. First-time participants will be given priority.
Questions regarding office hours may be directed to Mia Hannon, hannon@niu.edu, administrative assistant to the Executive Vice President and Provost.
