Undergraduate students who engage in faculty-mentored research, scholarship, and creative endeavors experience positive personal, academic, and professional benefits beyond those provided by any other college experience. The NIU’s Office of Student Engagement and Experiential Learning (OSEEL) strives to provide NIU students from all backgrounds and in all majors with the resources and funds to delve deeply into original inquiry and to travel to conferences and national meetings and publish their writing to share their discoveries with a broader scientific or scholarly community.
Give today and your donation will be used to fund undergraduate research assistantships or awards or to support activities like hands-on experimental work, travel to research sites and conferences, journal publication, and more. Your gift allows us to support these experiences, so students do not have to pick between academic research and another job.
Thank you for your support of our inquisitive and ambitious undergraduate researchers!
