Come out and enjoy a picnic-style lunch, fun and networking with NIU alumni and students from the Rockford area. Everyone's favorite mascot Mission will also be in attendance.

This free event will take place Sunday, Aug. 15, at 1 p.m. at Sinnissippi Park Twin Shelter #1, in Rockford. If you are a current or incoming NIU student, you may sign up for the event here.
