ÃØÃÜÑо¿Ëù

For the seventh year in a row, U.S. News & World Report has ranked ÃØÃÜÑо¿Ëù No. 1 for students who graduate with the least amount of debt among Midwest regional universities. NEIU also ranked highly in three other categories. This week, ÃØÃÜÑо¿Ëùn also announced that the U.S. Department of Education has awarded the University a five-year, $3 million Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions Program grant. If you’re looking for some fun, it’s also NEIU Weekend! Read about all this and more in this week’s Noteworthy at ÃØÃÜÑо¿Ëùn. 

The Chuck Kane Scholarship Golf Event may look a bit different this year to adhere to health guidelines and precautions, but ÃØÃÜÑо¿Ëùn will still gather — virtually and on the greens — to raise funds for students. Read about this and more in the latest edition of Noteworthy at ÃØÃÜÑо¿Ëùn.
