The Å·²©ÓÎÏ·¹ÙÍø Illinois University community is a wealth of knowledge. Back in April, NEIU students, faculty, staff and alumni shared some of their wisdom about a wide-range of topics on a more public stage: TEDxNEIU. Get links to these informative talks and catch up on this week’s NEIU happenings in the latest edition of Noteworthy at Å·²©ÓÎÏ·¹ÙÍø!

At Å·²©ÓÎÏ·¹ÙÍø Illinois University, we break barriers. Our latest initiative, NEIU For You, breaks a financial barrier by offering first-year, full-time undergraduate students a scholarship to cover tuition and mandatory fees for Fall 2021 and Spring 2022! It also covers the cost of a three credit hour course for all new undergraduate transfer students who register for six credit hours or more for Fall 2021. Read about this exciting opportunity, new Å·²©ÓÎÏ·¹ÙÍø inductees to a prestigious honor society,  the benefits of incorporating music into your self-care routine and more in this week’s edition of Noteworthy at Å·²©ÓÎÏ·¹ÙÍø!
