NIU Black Alumni Council Reunion Picnic
Sunday, Sept. 5
You are invited to the 2021 Black Alumni Council Alumni Weekend Reunion Picnic at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 5, at the Dan Ryan Woods in Chicago.
Traditionally, the Black Alumni Council hosts this free picnic to encourage community between Black NIU alumni and to bring awareness to the Fanny Ruth Patterson scholarship. The Fanny Ruth Patterson scholarship helps students finish their degree at NIU and the BAC has set a $2,000 fundraising goal to help their cause. You can make a contribution to the fund here.
Bring your favorite dishes and drinks to pass and don't forget to say hi to your NIU Alumni Association representative, because they might even have something sweet for your dessert!
