YOUR CONNECTION TO ACADEMIC AND PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS IN THE SCIENCES

The Student Center for Science Engagement (SCSE) is a friendly space where students gather to study and talk about science, located in Bernard Brommel Hall (BBH), Room 247. At the SCSE, students form study groups, receive tutoring and get individualized guidance on preparing for science-oriented careers. Visit our office in Room BBH 235 to receive advising. However, while the SCSE staff are working remotely, you can email scse@neiu.edu or call (773) 442-5636 in order to ask questions or schedule an advising appointment via phone or video chat.
