Alumni Connections Advocacy Program

Whether you can spare a few hours or a few minutes, you can make a difference as a champion for Northern Illinois University. Join the NIU advocacy grassroots network—NIU Alumni Connections.
Grassroots network volunteers are making a big difference advocating for NIU’s future—will you add your voice?
In as little as a few minutes a month, volunteers are communicating NIU’s needs to the Illinois governor, state legislators, and members of Congress. Grassroots volunteers are pivotal in addressing the issues that are important to NIU and the NIU community, such as:
- keeping tuition increases as low as possible;
- student financial aid; and
- preserving the value of an NIU degree.
Why is advocacy important now?
