NEIU is known for the many positive attributes that have kept students enrolling since 1867. There are a variety of ways that students can engage in educational enrichment, take advantage of work study and internship opportunities, and immerse themselves in campus life.
We are almost there! Recently I announced the naming of our upcoming cultural center as the Angelina Pedroso Center for Diversity and Intercultural Affairs. Dr. Pedroso, a beloved faculty member, served Northeastern for forty-four years helping students succeed.
Welcome new students! As a new student and stranger to the NEIU campus, it can be quite intimidating to walk through NEIU's various buildings and hallways. To some students familiarizing themselves with NEIU has been an easy task, as they find a club to join or a job as a NEIU student aide or worker.
The Rumba club is a dance club at NEIU that is run by and for students. The club was founded by advisor, Esmeralda Guerrero and its Vice President Frances Ortiz in the spring of 2009. After moving to Chicago and becoming employed at NEIU, Guerrero noticed that NEIU lacked a dance organization and became interested in starting a dance club.
