| PART III LINE 4A NARRATIVE CONTINUATION | THE NIU FOUNDATION: WHO WE ARE THE NIU FOUNDATION IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ENTITY THAT ENGAGES FRIENDS AND ALUMNI AND SECURES AND MANAGES GIFTS IN SUPPORT OF NORTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY. CREATING LIFE-CHANGING OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR HARDWORKING, DEDICATED STUDENTS AND FACULTY IS THE NIU FOUNDATION'S HIGHEST PRIORITY. EACH YEAR, THOUSANDS OF ALUMNI AND DONORS JOIN US IN THIS ENDEAVOR. FUNDING THE FUTURE THE FOUNDATION MEASURES THE PRODUCTIVITY OF ITS FUNDRAISING EFFORTS ACROSS ALL AREAS OF THE UNIVERSITY THROUGH "NEW GIFTS AND COMMITMENTS," WHICH INCLUDE GIFTS OF CASH, GIFTS-IN-KIND, PLEDGES, UNREALIZED BEQUESTS, AND OTHER PLANNED GIFT COMMITMENTS. IN FY24, DONORS PROVIDED $30.4M IN NEW GIFTS AND COMMITMENTS. THIS MARKS THE FIRST TIME IN NIU HISTORY THAT PHILANTHROPIC ACHIEVEMENTS HAVE SURPASSED THE $30M MARK. EXCEPTIONAL RESULTS LIKE THESE ARE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH UNIVERSITY WIDE PARTNERSHIPS AND THE EXTRAORDINARY GENEROSITY OF DONORS. THE UNIVERSITY WE SERVE STUDENT BODY NIU'S FOCUS ON REMOVING BARRIERS TO A HIGH-QUALITY EDUCATION CONTINUES TO ATTRACT TALENTED STUDENTS FROM ALL BACKGROUNDS WHO CLEARLY SEE NIU AS A PLACE WHERE THEY WILL SUCCEED. NIU'S OVERALL ENROLLMENT HELD STEADY FOR ACADEMIC YEAR 2024, BUOYED BY A SURGE IN TRANSFERS, AN ACADEMICALLY TALENTED FRESHMAN CLASS, AN UPTICK IN THE NUMBER OF NEW GRADUATE AND LAW STUDENTS AND CONTINUED REENROLLMENT SUCCESSES. THE ANNUAL 10-DAY COUNT SHOWS ENROLLMENT OF NEW TRANSFER STUDENTS INCREASED OVER LAST FALL BY MORE THAN 10%FOR A TOTAL OF 1,462 NEW STUDENTS COMING TO NIU FROM OTHER COLLEGES. THE AVERAGE HIGH SCHOOL GPA OF THE ALMOST 2,000 NEW FRESHMAN HUSKIES IS 3.39, THE THIRD HIGHEST ON RECORD; NEARLY 20% OF THOSE STUDENTS HAD 4.0 HIGH SCHOOL GPAS, WITH EACH EARNING A MERIT SCHOLARSHIP OF $7,000. SIMILARLY, NEW FRESHMEN WITH STELLAR HIGH SCHOOL GPAS OF 3.7 OR HIGHER REPRESENTED 36% OF THE 2024 CLASS. THE UNIVERSITY HAS BUILT UPON RECRUITMENT INITIATIVES AND PARTNERSHIPS TO ENSURE THAT THE INCOMING CLASS REFLECTS THE DEMOGRAPHIC DIVERSITY OF OUR REGION AND CHANGING FACE OF AMERICA. IN ADDITION, ONE OF EVERY TWO NEW FRESHMEN IS A FIRST-GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENT; 66% OF NEW FRESHMEN AND 47% OF NEW TRANSFERS ARE STUDENTS OF COLOR. NIU ALSO REMAINS ON A TRAJECTORY TO BECOME A FULLY DESIGNATED HISPANIC-SERVING INSTITUTION (HSI), WITH LATINX STUDENTS REPRESENTING MORE THAN ONE-QUARTER OF THE TOTAL UNDERGRADUATE POPULATION FOR THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR. GUIDED BY STRATEGIC ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT PLANNING AND THE BELIEF THAT EVERY STUDENT WHO ATTENDS NIU DESERVES THE SUPPORT NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS, THE UNIVERSITY WORKS TO PROVIDE RESOURCES THAT HELP HUSKIES SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATE THEIR PATHS TOWARD GRADUATION AND FULFILLING CAREERS. THE REENROLLMENT RATE OF CONTINUING UNDERGRADUATES IS AT A SEVEN-YEAR HIGH. A LEADER IN SOCIAL MOBILITY NIU RATES AMONG THE NATION'S LEADING INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION FOR SOCIAL MOBILITY, ACCORDING TO THE 2025 WALL STREET JOURNAL/COLLEGE PULSE RANKINGS. THE RANKINGS OF 500 INSTITUTIONS PLACE NIU AT NO. 38THE SECOND HIGHEST RANKING OF ANY ILLINOIS PUBLIC SCHOOL AND AMONG THE TOP FIVE UNIVERSITIES IN THE MIDWEST. COLLEGES AT THE TOP OF THE SOCIAL-MOBILITY RANKINGS TAKE IN HIGH PROPORTIONS OF LOW-INCOME STUDENTS AND EXCEL AT IMPROVING THOSE STUDENTS' GRADUATION RATES AND THEIR SALARIES LATER IN LIFE, ACCORDING TO THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. THE UNIVERSITY HAS IN RECENT YEARS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED DIVERSITY AMONG ITS SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS. TEST-FREE ADMISSIONS AND MERIT SCHOLARSHIP POLICIES HELP TO ATTRACT AND FOSTER THE SUCCESS OF HUSKIES FROM ALL BACKGROUNDS. NIU HAS WORKED TO CLOSE GAPS IN ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND DEGREE ATTAINMENT FOR LOW-INCOME AND FIRST-GENERATION STUDENTS, AND TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS ARE COMPETITIVE FOR STRONG FIRST JOBS OR GRADUATE EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES. IN FY24, THE NIU FOUNDATION PROVIDED MORE THAN $3.8 M TO STUDENTS FOR SCHOLARSHIPS AND AID. THESE SCHOLARSHIPS PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN MAKING A COLLEGE EDUCATION A REALITY FOR ALL NIU STUDENTS. THIS SUPPORT HAS ALSO PROVEN KEY TO PERSISTENCE, HELPING STUDENTS BECOME PROUD HUSKIE ALUMNI. IN FACT, NINE OUT OF 10 STUDENTS WHO RECEIVE NIU FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIPS GRADUATE. COMMITTED TO A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE AS ONE OF THE LARGEST STATE UNIVERSITIES IN ILLINOIS, NIU HAS COMMITTED TO A HEALTHY, SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR OUR STUDENTS AND COMMUNITIES. THE UNIVERSITY STRIVES TO INTEGRATE SUSTAINABILITY INTO EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, RESEARCH, AND CAMPUS OPERATIONS, AS WELL AS TO SERVE AS A MODEL TO THE BROADER NORTHERN ILLINOIS COMMUNITY. NIU APPROACHES CAMPUS SUSTAINABILITY IN AN INCLUSIVE WAY, AS FINDING SOLUTIONS TO COMPLEX CHALLENGES LIKE CLIMATE CHANGE REQUIRES STRATEGIES THAT ARE ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND, SOCIALLY JUST AND ECONOMICALLY VIABLE. WHEN PRESIDENT LISA FREEMAN SIGNED THE SECOND NATURE CARBON COMMITMENT IN 2022, IT CEMENTED NIU'S DEDICATION TO CLIMATE ACTION AND SET IN MOTION A PLANNING PROCESS TO INCORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY INTO ALL OF CAMPUS LIFE AND DECISIONS. NIU'S SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN IS AN EXCITING, COMPREHENSIVE, ACTIONABLE PLAN THAT WILL SERVE AS A ROADMAP FOR ITS SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS IN THE FUTURE. FACULTY WHO TEACH AND DO NIU'S NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED FACULTY ARE DEDICATED TO ADVANCING THEIR ACADEMIC DISCIPLINES, WORKING BEYOND TRADITIONAL BOUNDARIES, AND CREATING SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS TO COMPLEX SOCIETAL PROBLEMS. ADVANCING TRANSDISCIPLINARY SCHOLARSHIP IS ESSENTIAL TO PREPARING STUDENTS FOR A CENTURY OF CHANGE. THE UNIVERSITY'S PLAN FOR THE NORTHERN ILLINOIS CENTER FOR COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY, COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS NICCS, IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE. NICCS ADDRESSES THE CHALLENGES OF ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE, SHIFTING DEMOGRAPHICS AND SOCIOPOLITICAL INEQUITY IMPACTING OUR REGION AND THE WORLD, AND CONNECTS RESEARCH AND INNOVATION TO ADVANCE SUSTAINABILITY IN FOOD SYSTEMS, WATER RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL ADAPTATION WHILE ALSO PROMOTING SCIENCE-BASED POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR COMMUNITIES. NICCS IS A HUB IN THE ILLINOIS INNOVATION NETWORK. THE NETWORK CONNECTS ILLINOIS PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES AND SUPPORTS COLLABORATION TO DRIVE INCLUSIVE INNOVATION, EQUITABLE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, AND SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC GROWTH THROUGHOUT OUR STATE. NIU FACULTY ARE ALSO CONDUCTING CUTTING-EDGE, TRANSDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH IN RELATIVELY NEW FIELDS SUCH AS URBAN-REGIONAL MODELING, DISASTER ATTRIBUTION, CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT AGRICULTURE, PRAIRIE RESTORATION AND FOREVER CHEMICALS. MOREOVER, WE ARE FORGING TIES BETWEEN THE UNIVERSITY, COMMUNITY, GOVERNMENT AND BUSINESSES, WITH PROJECTS UNDERWAY BETWEEN NIU AND THE U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, ARGONNE NATIONAL LABORATORY, THE DEKALB COUNTY COMMUNITY GARDENS, THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS, AND SOUTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY. THESE AND MYRIAD OTHER PROJECTS PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN CUTTING-EDGE RESEARCH ALONGSIDE FACULTY WHO ARE LEADERS IN THEIR FIELDS. THESE OPPORTUNITIES ARE A HALLMARK OF THE UNDERGRADUATE EXPERIENCE AT NIU. PRIVATE DONATIONS HELP MAKE THESE EXPERIENCES POSSIBLE BY SUPPORTING INITIATIVES LIKE RESEARCH ROOKIES, A PROGRAM THAT LINKS FIRST-YEAR AND SOPHOMORE STUDENTS WITH FACULTY MENTORS IN THEIR AREAS OF INTEREST TO CONDUCT SMALL SCALE RESEARCH PROJECTS. EVIDENCE STRONGLY INDICATES THAT STUDENT RESEARCH PARTICIPATION INCREASES RETENTION AND BOLSTERS JOB AND GRADUATE SCHOOL OPPORTUNITIES. IN FY24, THE NIU FOUNDATION SUPPLIED NEARLY $8.6M TO SUPPORT CAMPUS DEPARTMENTS, PROGRAMS AND PROFESSORSHIPS. THE NIU FOUNDATION: GATHERING SUPPORT CONNECTING OUR ALUMNI NIU HAS A FIERCELY PROUD ALUMNI BASE OF MORE THAN 260,000 HUSKIES. THEY BOAST ACCOMPLISHED CAREERS IN A DIVERSE ARRAY OF PROFESSIONS AND PRIMARILY RESIDE IN THE NORTHERN ILLINOIS REGION. THESE GRADUATES CREATE DYNAMIC PROFESSIONAL NETWORKS FOR STUDENTS AND FACULTY AND PROVIDE ECONOMIC VITALITY TO THE REGION AND STATE. ALUMNI ALSO REPRESENT A VAST PIPELINE OF SUPPORT FOR THE UNIVERSITY. IN FY24, THE NIU FOUNDATION HOSTED MORE THAN 116 ENGAGEMENT EVENTS CONNECTING ALUMNI AND DONORS WITH NIU, EACH OTHER, AND THE STUDENTS WHO BENEFIT FROM THEIR SUPPORT. THESE EVENTS ALSO PROVIDE VALUABLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALUMNI AND DONORS TO MEET WITH NIU PRESIDENT LISA C. FREEMAN AND OTHER KEY UNIVERSITY LEADERS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY'S VISION AND STRATEGIC DIRECTION. IN FY24, 3,297 PEOPLE ATTENDED THESE EVENTS, 516 OF WHOM WERE FIRST-TIME EVENT ATTENDEES. |
