-
support the programs and interests of NIU and its alumni;
-
enhance the image of NIU in the Rockford area;
-
provide mutually beneficial networking for alumni;
-
award the David & Diane Graf College of Business Rockford Endowed Scholarship for students in the Rockford area;
-
reinforce NIU engagement efforts in the Rockford area by helping to identify community challenges and opportunities, develop mutually beneficial partnerships and collaborative solutions that leverage NIU expertise and resources.
Our club was formed in 1998 by and for College of Business graduates, subsequently expanding to its present general membership. Club activities are directed by an informally structured leadership team. Currently, the leadership team meets on the third Thursday of odd-numbered months.
