We are truly grateful for the generosity of each of our donors, for we know that there are many great causes to support. Thank you for making public higher education a priority in your philanthropic goals.

Private support has been, and will continue to be, increasingly important to the life of the University as state funding for higher education in Illinois continues its steady decline. Now, more than ever, your support is critical in maintaining Northeastern's vision to "be a leader among metropolitan universities, known for its dedication to its urban mission, for the quality of its programs, for the success of its graduates, and for the diversity of its learning environment."
