Stay Engaged

There’s plenty to do on campus after your workday is over. You can check out a music or theater performance or cheer on the Huskies on the field or the court. You can also attend a lecture or presentation to learn something new!

Employee Groups

Joining a staff group or attending events for employees is a great way to get involved and make a difference on campus. There are many groups on campus that welcome new members.

• University Council
• Faculty Senate
• Operating Staff Council

• Committees of the University
• Presidential Commissions
• Academic Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
• Black Faculty and Staff Association
• Cultural Resource Centers

Event Calendar

The NIU events calendar is a convenient way to see what’s happening on campus. You can also submit an event to the calendar on behalf of your department.
