We are CHHS.
The College of Health and Human Sciences (CHHS) transforms students’ lives through active, engaged learning and hands-on research with a world-class faculty. Our students participate in clinicals, practicums and field experiences that combine classroom and real-world experiences.
Huskies United changes lives at NIU and beyond.
Your support is an investment in the people and potential of NIU. When you help any of our programs, you are also contributing to the health and happiness of the individuals our alumni serve. Your gift helps tomorrow’s audiologists, physical therapists, public health workers, speech-language pathologists, medical laboratory scientists, nurses, dieticians, early childhood educators, marriage and family therapists, and other health and human sciences leaders.
Unleash the potential.
To maximize your Huskies United contribution, we have college-wide challenges to help increase the impact of your gift. Can you help us unleash the following CHHS Huskies United Challenges that will unlock additional donations?
CHHS Dean's Challenge:
- CHHS Dean Kelly Fiala and Dr. Laura Marinaro want to see strong support from our CHHS team! When a CHHS faculty or staff member makes a gift of any amount to a CHHS-affiliated program, they will match up to $25 per donation to a total of $2,000.
- Incoming Associate Dean of Academic Affairs Dr. Sherrill Morris and Brian Brim are ready to help CHHS supporters double or even TRIPLE their impact and support student engagement. The first 20 unique donations of $25 or more to CHHS-affiliated programs will unlock an additional $25 per donation for CHHS student organizations. For CHHS faculty and staff, the Morris-Brim match will stack with the Dean’s Challenge match, meaning that your $25 donation will have a $75 impact on CHHS programs and students!
CHHS Advisory Board Challenges:
- Board member and alum Daniel Pesut wants to see strong support for School of Nursing student scholarships! When 10 gifts to nursing scholarships are received, it will unlock an additional gift of $1,000.
- Board member and alum Linda Deering Dean wants to see further investments in the School of Nursing. When 10 gifts to nursing are received, it will unlock an additional gift of $1,000.
- Board chair and alum Peggy Norton-Rosko wants to encourage others to support the need for future healthcare workers. An additional gift of $2,500 will be unlocked when donations to the School of Nursing reach $2,500.
CHHS Achievement Challenge:
- An anonymous donor wants to help CHHS set a new Huskies United record! When more than 105 gifts are made to any area of the college, it will unlock an additional gift of $105,000.
