Our programs and services promote learning, leadership, engagement, service, health and wellness, and the celebration of diversity. In the coming year, our work will be focused on the following priorities to better serve our students:

  • Continue to implement effective culturally relevant strategies in support of student success and retention.
  • Lead the University community in developing NEIU traditions and spirit focused events and activities in support of student success.
  • Continue to build residence hall programs and resources and strengthen operations to improve the residential student experience.
  • Enhance support for transfer and commuter students.
  • Develop a plan to provide student fee funds to enhance student engagement at El Centro and the Carruthers Center for Inner City Studies.
  • Continue to rebuild and enhance services for students served in the Angelina Pedroso Center for Diversity and Intercultural Affairs and the Career Development.
  • Assist with recruitment initiatives of the University through all of its programs and services.
  • Continue to effectively manage a communication plan to inform the University community of academic and co-curricular policies and processes that affect student success (i.e. classroom disruption, academic integrity, student grievance, and behavioral concern referrals).
  • Continue to work with the academic colleges to strengthen career services including career exploration and readiness, internships, and employment opportunities.

The Student Affairs team looks forward to working with you, and we thank you for your continued support and commitment to our students.
