Reserve Your Table for the Involvement Fair
|
Looking to participate in this year’s involvement fair? The involvement fair takes place Sept. 2 in the MLK Commons and Sept. 3 virtually. All student organizations and departments can sign up for both days.
The Sept. 2 event runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Student organizations and departments can check in for their table at 10 a.m. If your student organization/department does not check in by 11 a.m., your table may be given to another organization/department. You can have no more than to two people at your table. A reminder email will be sent out the week before.
The virtual Sept. 3 runs all day. Instructions on how to manage your virtual booth will be sent out prior to the fair. You must have a Huskie Hub page to participate in the virtual fair.

Parking Permits Available for Purchase
|
Parking permits for the 2026-2027 academic year are available for purchase. 2025-2026 permits expire
Aug. 15, 2026. Annual permits for the 2026-2027 school year will be valid until Aug. 15, 2027.
The parking permits are virtual — you will not get a hangtag or sticker for your vehicle. Your license plate will act as your parking permit. You have the option to add an additional vehicle to your permit, with a maximum of two vehicles allowed. At no time are your primary and secondary vehicles allowed to be parked on campus at the same time under the same virtual permit.
You can obtain your new virtual permit online.
For those only needing temporary parking, there are short-term parking options available. Short-term permits can be purchased online, and options include daily weekly and monthly permits. Short-term parking is also available at the visitor pay lot and through the AMP Park mobile app in lots throughout campus. A map of campus parking options is available online.
Parking Services offers two payment options:
|
- Bill Bursar account.
- Credit card
|
If you have any questions or need more information, please contact Parking Services at 815-753-1045 or at parking@niu.edu.

My internship with NIU Athletics, Creative Services and Sports Media involved capturing high-quality photography and video content of practices, games and team events for NIU football. I filmed game action, behind-the-scenes moments and sideline coverage while producing engaging visual content for social media, marketing and recruiting. I also edited highlight videos and short-form digital content and provided media coverage for multiple Division I football games. In addition, I documented key moments on the field and produced content that reached a large audience across digital platforms, and collaborated with the creative and media teams to deliver compelling visual storytelling.

Get involved! Once you find a subject you're passionate about, see if there are professors you can work with to get extra hands-on experience beyond what you do in the classroom. Also, keep looking until you find the subject that brings you passion. Work doesn't seem so much like work if you love what you do.
