NIU's College of Business is proud to partner with the NIU Executive Club. The club offers its members valuable opportunities to connect with NIU alumni, faculty, students, and the alumni business community. Founded by two alums in 1995, the club has grown to over 150 members who have a shared respect for education and the desire to foster relationships for professional growth and development.
The club hosts a number of events each year. Networking events include engaged speakers and offer time to meet with distinguished alumni and professionals. The Annual Gala is an elegant affair created to raise funds for the club's endowed scholarship—supporting their mission to give back. The popular golf event provides a casual day on the course, while building strong relationships with peers. With these events and others, you will stay connected in business and education.
The NIU Executive Club actively supports the growth and prestige of NIU's College of Business in recruiting the best and the brightest students through their endowed scholarship. In return, students have the opportunity to interact with alumni who are leaders and executives in their fields. Students also find job shadow opportunities and internships, and obtain insight into careers during classroom speaking engagements. The NIU Executive Club exposes students to perspectives outside of, and a supplement to, the classroom.
NIU's College of Business is "Where the Classroom Meets the Business World." We are pleased to have the NIU Executive Club share in this principle and appreciate their exemplary support and commitment to NIU.
