Get Involved

Enhance your academic experience — and your career prospects — by getting involved at NIU. Take advantage of opportunities to conduct research, join student organizations, volunteer in the community and more. You’ll increase your awareness of current issues in education while gaining leadership skills and building your networks.  

We’re committed to developing an inclusive, diverse community, and you’ll find our cultural resource centers to be a great source of both engagement opportunities and support.

Our Educate and Engage program is another way we help you gain the real-world experiences that prepare you for career success.
