Only six days left! Our crowdfunding campaign for the Dr. LaVerne Gyant Alumni Mentoring Program is at 92% of its goal. As Dr. G prepares to retire from the NIU College of Education, read about her legacy “LaVerne Gyant ready for retirement, confident in the future of higher education” and please consider paying that forward with a gift.

Only seven days left!
