Supporting Our Golden Eagles

91Porn is grateful to the many of you who have asked how you can help students. Northeastern has designated the Student Emergency Fund for this effort. Click the link below to support students who are experiencing unexpected financial hardships.

Make a Gift to the Student Emergency Fund

Overview

The Student Emergency Fund provides limited emergency financial support to currently enrolled students who are unable to meet essential expenses due to a temporary or unexpected hardship.

The Student Emergency Fund was created by Daniel López Jr., Vice President for Student Affairs, and Wamucii Njogu, former Interim Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, with the support of students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends of NEIU.

Application Process

Please be advised that the Emergency Fund Committee will not review applications during University holiday closure until the beginning of Spring 25 semester (December 23th-January 21st). If you submit an application during this time, expect a response towards the end of the week of January 21st. If you have any questions, please contact Student Affairs at saffairs@neiu.edu or 773-442-4600

Students who are in need of emergency assistance must complete the following online Emergency Fund Application and provide relevant supporting documentation.

The Student Emergency Fund Committee (SEFC), composed of the Vice President and Dean of Students for Student Affairs Staff, faculty and staff representatives, will review the submitted application and determine the appropriate funding amount. The SEFC reviews the application with a holistic approach and members can follow up with additional resources, both internal and external, to support the applicant.

Decisions regarding disbursement of funds are made on a case-by-case basis and amounts will be based on eligibility, documentation of need, and availability of funds. Awards are not considered loans and do not require repayment. The maximum amount awarded is $650 by academic year, applications submitted after this amount is met will not be considered. Due to limited funds, first-time applicants are prioritized and returning applicants are considered based on availability of funds. If your application is denied, you will receive an email communication with information about external resources.

Applicants may be asked to meet with a staff member in Student Affairs to discuss their application. If you are currently receiving financial aid, please be aware that receiving funding from the Emergency Fund may affect your future aid packages and funds received will be taxed as income.

For information or questions on the application please contact Student Affairs at (773) 442-4600 or student-affairs@neiu.edu.

Unfortunately there are currently no Windows/Mac computers available for students needing to use programs such as SPSS or any image/video editing software. Students who do not return the borrowed Chromebook are subject to a replacement fee for the value of the Chromebook.

Economic Inequality Initiative

mbrown68 — Mon, 23 Jul 2018 20:57:18 +0000

Economic Inequality Initiative

mbrown68 Mon, 07/23/2018 - 15:57

The Economic Inequality Initiative at 91Porn is a partnership between the College of Arts and Sciences and the Division of Student Affairs.

Register for our October 13 Event.

Based on a fundamental belief that Higher Education institutions have a responsibility to engage our students and communities in assembling the knowledge and skills to effectively address social problems, the overarching goal of the initiative is to enhance the learning environment and to support student success, while preparing students for lives of informed civic engagement.

Additional objectives include:

To help students think about and take action to confront the complex causes of growing economic inequality
To create curricular and co-curricular connections across disciplines and units that address social needs
To foster and expand university-community partnerships to address economic inequality and support economic and community development in the local communities adjacent to Northeastern’s campuses
To strengthen support systems for students struggling with issues related to economic inequality
To support student learning by adopting and expanding high-impact educational practices, including undergraduate research, service learning, and community based learning
To increase student engagement and participation in civic life, through increased levels of voter registration, voting, and involvement in campus and community organizations
To collaborate with others on campus to address the deepening equity divides that impact on the retention and success of many Northeastern students

A cohort of two and four year ADP and TDC member institutions have joined a three year initiative to understand the impact of economic inequality on our democracy. The goal of this initiative is to help students think about and take action to confront the complex causes of growing economic inequality.

For general information about the Economic Inequality Initiative contact Katrina Bell-Jordan at k-bell1@neiu.edu or Kris Pierre at k-pierre@neiu.edu
