Matt Byerly Thu, 07/01/2021 - 10:50

Join Living Learning Communities at NEIU

Applications for the LLC Program for the 2025-2026 academic year are now open.

Apply Today!

What are Living Learning Communities?

Living Learning Communities (LLC) are residential communities that introduce and integrate academic and social learning through faculty and staff involvement within a holistic education. LLCs at NEIU are designed to create a greater sense of community through increased opportunities for faculty and peer interaction around specific topics. Students in an LLC live together in the same area of The Nest, our on-campus residence hall, and share experiences that reinforce their academic focus and the theme of their LLC. Students and faculty are provided opportunities for connection outside of the classroom and an LLC supports networking across common interests.

By Joining Living Learning Communities, students will benefit from:

an enriched campus housing experience that connect academic and extracurricular activities
more interactions with faculty, civic leaders, and University administrators
closer connections with faculty members who can assist with academic studies
an increased sense of community at NEIU
greater content knowledge in LLC topics

Housing Scholarship

Students who are accepted into an LLC are eligible to receive a one-year housing scholarship that covers 50% of the room cost. More detailed information about the housing scholarship is provided below about each LLC program (click each bar to open).

What are the types of LLCs?

CASEP Living Learning Community

The CASEP Leadership Living Learning Community (CLLLC) is open to incoming first year students, current CASEP cohort students, and CASEP alumni planning on a career in teaching.

Selected students will be enrolled in, or have taken, cohort classes, take part in monthly success seminars, and participate in an annual teacher leadership retreat. Students will also attend a mandatory orientation, and agree to participate in check-in meetings throughout the academic year. Students will demonstrate a desire in determining if teaching is the right career choice as they matriculate through university toward graduation from NEIU.

Students expressing an interest in the on-campus housing initiative will complete an application, and participate in an interview session with the selection committee prior to the Fall semester. To receive and remain eligible for the award students must:

Be admitted to NEIU currently majoring in, or planning to pursue, a degree in education

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service 2021

Mary Kroeck Fri, 01/15/2021 - 11:31

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his commitment to diversity, inclusion and serving our community, while maintaining COVID-19 guidelines, members of the Northeastern community, in collaboration with Student Leadership Development, volunteered to record themselves reading culturally diverse children's books. Our hope is that our children can hear stories that they see themselves in or opens their minds to new cultures.

We invite you to share these videos with your family and friends. If you loved any of these books, we encourage you to support the authors by purchasing your own copy of these wonderful stories. The books that Student Leadership Development purchased for this initiative will be donated to either the NEIU Child Care Center or the NEIU Library.

Please enjoy these recordings as our way of celebrating Dr. King's life and legacy as well as honoring his vision of a beloved community.

Student Government Association

mbrown68 Thu, 06/14/2018 - 09:50

The NEIU Student Government Association (SGA) is the governing body for the student body at NEIU. The purpose of SGA is to lead with integrity, embracing our diversity to promote a cohesive and unified student body. It is the mission of the SGA to be the voice of all students.

The SGA is composed of three distinct agglomerating bodies: the Council of Clubs (10 reps), justices (5), and senate (10 senators). These groups are led by the Executive Board, which is composed of the president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, the IBHE-SAC (Illinois Board of Higher Education Student Advisor Council) student representative, and the student trustee.

The senate is the main body that advocates for the student body. The Council of Clubs is the main body advocating for, creating, and funding organization life on campus. SGA members serve on one of the standing committees: The Student Life Committee, the Academic Affairs Committee, Promotions & Appointments Committee.

Get involved in SGA today! The Student Government Association gives you the opportunity to interact with your peers while you represent the student body in making decisions that affect the quality of student life at NEIU.

The student justices are appointed by the president of SGA. All other members of the SGA are elected in the spring semester.
