Whether you’re looking to make a difference in the lives of students, support the community or reconnect with NIU and fellow Huskies, volunteering through the NIU Alumni Association is an easy way to give back. Here are some volunteer opportunities coming up this semester.

NIU Alumni Association and Admissions Student Recruitment Phone-a-thon
Tuesday, March 20, & Wednesday, March 21
5:15-7:30 p.m., in the comfort of your home or office.

The Student Recruitment Phone-a-thon offers a convenient and meaningful volunteer experience. Alumni have the opportunity to speak with prospective students who are admitted to NIU but have not yet confirmed. Many students have questions and don’t know where to find the answers. A connection with alumni who relate, care and can offer solid advice is just what they need! Volunteers make the calls from the comfort of their own home!
