The “Huskie Trek Talks: Ideas in Motion” event will bring together the NIU campus, donors and friends to celebrate the innovative spirit of faculty and staff, while deepening connections. NIU faculty and staff (full-time and part-time) can showcase their leading research programs, projects, initiatives and startup companies.
Featuring polished presentations in the engaging storytelling spirit of Ted Talks, each faculty or staff member’s talk offers a window into what makes the Huskie spirit so innovative and special. Presenters will be eligible for funding awards from the NIU Foundation Grants Committee, the Division of Outreach Engagement and Regional Development and the Division of Research and Innovation Partnerships.
Make your submission of a 2-minute video or a written 1–2-page summary by Friday, Feb. 23. This event is tentatively scheduled for Friday, May 3. Contact Sam Guerrero at sguerrero@niu.edu with questions.
