Noche De Familia

Thursday, October 15, 2026

6:00 - 9:00 p.m. 

El Centro, 3390 N. Avondale, Chicago

As we close a wonderful month of celebration and festivities, Noche de Familia will serve as our closing celebration, bringing together students, families, alumni, faculty, staff, administrators, community partners, and supporters of NEIU as we celebrate the individuals and programs that have made a meaningful difference in the lives of our students. 

Enjoy Latin American food, student success stories, a keynote speaker, Aztec dance, awards and recognition, and an opportunity to support future student-centered programming. While rooted in Latine Heritage Month, the event will be open to everyone who believes in student success, cultural celebration, and the power of community.

Attendance is free, and below are some suggested levels of giving:

• $50
• $100
• $150
• Other amount

Funds raised through Noche de Familia would support future student programming, scholarships, cultural celebrations, and other resources that strengthen student belonging, retention, and academic success.

Should you have any questions about the event, please contact Danny Cortez at dcortez1@neiu.edu.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you!
