Celebrate 50 Years Since Graduating From NIU

With access to world-class educators, a bustling campus life, and the shared experiences of pivotal historical moments, your experience at NIU undoubtedly prepared you for personal and professional success. Once you have reached the 50th anniversary of earning your degree, you become a Golden Huskie, which creates a significant opportunity to connect with NIU and celebrate and reflect on how you can help continue NIU's legacy.

In honor of this significant milestone, the Golden Huskie Alumni Network invites all Golden Huskies to make a donation to any designation that matches their interest. Even better, your donation will make progress toward unlocking Glenn '73 and Sharon Hollister's M.A. '92, $50,000 gift to establish the Glenn and Sharon Hollister Golden Huskies Endowed Scholarship for First Generation Students. All gifts made by a Golden Huskie through this page, to any area of interest, counts towards our $19,740 goal to unlock this challenge. 

Please also consider donating to the Golden Huskie General Scholarship Fund, which was launched in 2024 and, until it is fully endowed, a portion of the funds raised will be awarded annually to a student and the remaining funds will build toward a $50,000 endowment. Gifts to the Golden Huskie Scholarship fund will support all students from all colleges and departments to help them to pursue their education at NIU.

A gift to NIU is life-changing whether given now, or in the future. Thank you for your help empowering students throughout their NIU journey.
