Internal Communications

Internal Communications helps you reach NIU's campus community, employees and students, through several shared channels: weekly announcement emails, targeted mass emails, digital signage and the events calendar.

Sharing your information through these channels also helps us amplify it further, across NIU's social media accounts, NIU Today and the NIU Mobile app.

Channels

Weekly Announcements

Every Monday, we send an NIU Official Announcements email to all employees and the Weekly Scroll email to all students with relevant university news and information, professional opportunities and upcoming events.

Submit Information for an Announcement

Targeted Mass Emails

Need to reach a specific internal audience? We can help you send targeted mass emails to reach the right group.

Targeted emails to prospective students should be requested through the CRM Request Form.

All mass and targeted emails must comply with NIU's Mass Electronic Communications Policy.
