Huskies United 2025 has ended, but you can still make your gift here!
Military and Veterans Services

The Office of Military and Veteran Services serves as a liaison between the Department of Veteran Affairs and the military-connected students at Northern Illinois University. As advocates for the academic success of our students, we work tirelessly to create pathways to our students' goals. We encourage our military-connected students to engage and embrace every opportunity to connect with the Huskie Experience. Our students are active duty, veterans, reservists/guard and dependents (spouses/children).

By developing student-centered programming and providing excellent customer service, we strive to enhance the learning environment and develop a culture of inclusion for all military students.
