Mission

The mission of the Latino Alumni Council is to maximize the academic and social experience of Latinos at NIU, to serve as a representative voice for Latino alumni and to assist in the unification of alumni efforts to further and support the interests of Northern Illinois University. These goals shall be accomplished through the following:

  • Networking, advocacy and actively engaging Latino members of the NIU community and others.
  • Maintaining and promoting a network for the empowerment and advancement of Latina/Latino/Latinx alumni at Northern Illinois University.
  • Sponsoring professional development opportunities and financial support via the LAC Engagement scholarship.

LAC Engagement Scholarship Fund

The Latino Alumni Council launched the LAC Engagement Scholarship, tailored for students who are at a sophomore level or above, have a minimum 2.5 GPA, and can demonstrate how their experiences have fostered an understanding of, and commitment to, addressing issues of diversity and inclusion in Latinx communities.

As alumni, we know the significance of a college degree for ourselves, our families and community. Many of our lives have been significantly impacted by scholarship support.

We have many opportunities to connect and give back as we continue building a strong network for our Huskies.

Con Mucho Huskie Orgullo,
The NIU Latino Alumni Council
