Northern Illinois University is among Carnegie-classified R2 universities for high research activity. This year, the Office of Student Engagement and Experiential Learning (OSEEL) and the University Honors Program are taking the celebration of research to the next level, with the debut of Research Month in April.
This month-long celebration will highlight research accomplishments and provide engaging new opportunities for students, departments and colleges to get involved. You can get involved by sharing OSEEL content on your social media pages and helping spread the word about Research Month.
“Research is a key component of what we offer as part of an education at NIU, and this priority is reflected in our university goals,” said Andrea Radasanu, assistant vice provost for Student Enhancement. “Research Month is a great way to showcase the talents of our students and the dedication of our faculty mentors, while bringing the campus community together.”
Undergraduate students involved in research are encouraged to share gratitude posts to show how research impacted their undergraduate experience and thank those who supported them. Faculty mentors are encouraged to share research story highlights featuring undergraduate researchers who made a positive impact. These gratitude posts and research highlights will be shared on NIU’s social media pages, and you are encouraged to share these posts to help recognize these accomplishments.
