Outdoor Movie
You’re invited to Movie Night at the Quad! Come hang out with us in the University Commons for a night of movies, snacks, and great company. Bring your blankets, lawn chairs, and your friends so you can get comfy on the lawn while we take care of the snacks and goodies. It’s the perfect way to unwind, relax, and enjoy a movie together!
Late Night Breakfast
Join us in the cafeteria for cozy late-night eats, good energy, and even better company. Whether you’re pulling an all-nighter, taking a study break, or just showing up for the free food (we won’t judge 😌), this is your sign to treat yourself.
Fall Fest
Our annual block-party style event brings the campus community together for a day of music, food, games, and entertainment. Enjoy live performances from a variety of musical genres, explore vendor and community business tables, and take part in outdoor attractions and activities. Each year brings something different, from carnival games to casino-style fun, making Fall Fest a can’t-miss campus tradition!
Golden Eagles in the City
Join us as we explore everything Chicago has to offer! From museums and sports games to festivals and exciting events around the city, this program is all about getting off campus and experiencing the best of Chicago together. Grab your friends and get ready to discover the city with us!
All Nighter!
Think you can make it till sunrise? Join us for the ultimate overnight experience from 8 PM – 5 AM, packed with nonstop fun, energy, and unforgettable memories. The All Nighter is a high-energy event filled with a wide variety of activities. Everything from music, movies, midnight tacos, and fun foods to tournaments, trivia, DIY crafts, and even morning stretches or yoga to power you through the night. You might find bumper cars, laser tag, photo booths, mini golf, study spaces, and plenty of surprises along the way!
Each year brings a brand-new theme, past favorites include pajama parties, Friday the 13th, retro vibes, Jurassic Park, and more, so no two All Nighters are ever the same. And if you make it all the way to the end, you’ll earn a limited-edition NEIU t-shirt, exclusive only to those who survive the night.
