About Us
The NIU History Club is for all members of the NIU community with an interest in history. It was designed
to be an avenue for history undergraduate students to create academic and
professional relationships with faculty and other history students within the
Northern Illinois University Department of History. We invite you to attend our
weekly meetings where we promote activism through historical knowledge, host trivia nights, movie nights, informational
presentations from other campus resources (such as Career Services, the CLAS Internship Coordinator, the Study Abroad Office, OSEEL, etc.) and occasional field trips to local museums
and historical sites. It is our mission to promote and expand the knowledge of
History within its members and the community of Northern Illinois University.
Members as tomorrow's leaders may utilize this opportunity to develop and
improve their leadership skills for the betterment of the future, for both
themselves as well as for society, while learning from the past.
