NIU to host Milwaukee-area admissions event March 13

Northern Illinois University will host an undergraduate admissions information session at the DoubleTree Hotel-Milwaukee Downtown from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, March 13.

Kitty McCarthy, associate vice president of student affairs and enrollment management at NIU, says this is a tremendous opportunity for students considering NIU to have questions answered by representatives.

“For students and families in more distant areas, like Milwaukee, it may be challenging to find a day to get to campus,” she says. “NIU’s off-campus receptions are a great way for students and families to meet with staff, learn more about the programs and opportunities available at NIU, and explore next steps to becoming a Huskie without having to spend time on the road or take time off work.”

Prospective students and their families will have the opportunity to learn more about the opportunities awaiting them at Northern Illinois University; receive information on NIU’s “Research Rookies” program, “Themed Learning Communities” and other engaged learning opportunities; and discover the next steps to admission, financial aid and scholarships including NIU’s Out-of-State Huskie Scholarship.

Northern Illinois University is committed to enrolling talented and diverse students. To further that commitment, the NIU Out-of-State Huskie Scholarship is available to incoming undergraduate students from Indiana, Iowa, and Wisconsin. This scholarship valued at approximately $9,200 will be awarded to academically-qualified students who exhibit strong academic performance and potential.

Interested students and families may register for the event by Tuesday, March 6 on the NIU Undergraduate Admissions website,http://www.niu.edu/admissions/milwaukee/index.shtml.
