<p>Date and time: Thursday, July 23, 10:00 AM </p>

<p>Format: Virtual </p>

<p>With the portal opening in late July, this session is timed to land just ahead of launch. It focuses on substance rather than mechanics: writing evidence-based narratives, delivering feedback that lands, avoiding common rating errors, and leading the evaluation conversation. It counts toward the Huskie Leadership and Career Development Program. </p>

<p>The session is recorded and posted to the HRS Training website afterward, so you can revisit it or catch up if you cannot join live. </p>

<p>Come ready with a real situation from your team, an evaluation you are unsure how to word or a conversation you are not looking forward to, and we will work through examples together.</p>

<br>                                          In the Blackboard Ultra course view, the Gradebook is a useful tool for tracking student grades and helping students understand their progress throughout the semester on individual assessments, but it can also efficiently calculate an overall grade on an ongoing basis, as well as a final grade. The overall grade is visible to students on the Grades page in the base navigation and provides students with a sense of their current performance. At the end of the semester, NIU faculty can then use the Grade Submission tool to publish grades from the Gradebook directly to MyNIU, saving even more time. In this online workshop, we will discuss how to calculate overall grades, including how to use the weighted total feature, share best practices, and answer questions about specific grading systems.

<br>                                          Accessibility at NIU is more than compliance—it reflects a core commitment to inclusive excellence and student success. By intentionally designing courses that anticipate and remove barriers, we create learning environments where all students, regardless of ability, background, or learning preference, can fully engage and thrive.</p>

<p>This interactive institute explores how accessibility and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) work together to support effective, student‑centered teaching. You will examine practical approaches that make learning more flexible, engaging, and equitable for everyone. Learn more at citl.niu.edu/fall-tei                     Register Now!</p>

<br>Innovation and Local History: The Glidden Homestead
<br>Aug. 19, 2026
<br>6:30 p.m.</p>

<p>Glidden Homestead Museum (921 W. Lincoln Hwy, DeKalb, IL, 60115)</p>

<p>Speaker: Jessi Haish LaRue, Executive Director of the JF Glidden Homestead &amp; Historical Center</p>

<p>Barbed wire profoundly changed the United States , and one of the most important innovations in this revolutionary technology happened right here in DeKalb. Joseph F. Glidden was granted a patent on Nov 24, 1874, for "The Winner," which became one of the most widely used types of barbed wire in the nation. </p>

<p>At this STEAM Café, hear the story of the Glidden Homestead. Learn why Joseph Glidden needed barbed wire, how he created this new version and why it was so transformative. Then, tour the historic barn and see the latest updates in its restoration progress. Don’t miss this chance to dig into DeKalb’s historical roots in agricultural innovation!</p>

<p>About the speaker</p>

<p>Jessi Haish LaRue is the Executive Director of the JF Glidden Homestead &amp; Historical Center in DeKalb, home to two National Register of Historic Places buildings. Leading the organization since 2022, she brings a creative, forward-looking approach to the birthplace of “The Winner” barbed wire. An eighth-generation DeKalb County resident and descendant of barbed wire baron Jacob Haish, Jessi’s connection to local history is both deeply personal and future-focused.</p>

Your future sisters will be there to support you as you learn all that you’re capable of, and through the sorority experience, you’ll tap into your potential through exploring leadership, giving back to the community, serving others, and MORE!</p>

<p>Sorority is a deep network and well of opportunities that will help you succeed – beyond what you can imagine today. Your sorority helps you find your niche at Northern Illinois University through opportunities to connect and lead, and the benefits of the sorority experience are real. Sorority women are three times as likely to have an internship in school and twice as likely to have a job when they graduate.</p>

<p>Sorority is fun! It’s about always having those go-to girls you can sing at the top of your lungs with, late-night study buddies, that sister who is there when you need ice cream (or a hug), and a mentor who inspires you to be the best version of you.</p>

<p>Sorority is a community of support that we call sisterhood. Sororities provide a family and a home away from home. Your sisters will be there for you – for celebrating your wins, for tough conversations, and for when you need a shoulder to lean on. Sisterhood is deeper than friendship and lasts far beyond the few years we’re in college.</p>

<p>Like what you've heard? Want to meet the Sororities here at Northern Illinois University? Then you are in the right place! We are SO excited to meet you and welcome you to your NIU experience!</p>

It’s an understandable first step — but not the most effective one.</p>

<p>In 2025, LinkedIn processed an average of 11,000 applications per minute. With so many job seekers competing for the same positions, submitting resumes to online job postings is not enough, and this approach often leads to frustration and disappointment for master's students with limited work experience.</p>

<p>A more effective job search strategy exists — and it starts long before you submit a single resume.</p>

<p>Join Beyond Graduate School for this special webinar series where you'll learn strategies for an effective job search, what you need to do before you begin applying for jobs, and what steps to take when you are ready to apply. By the end of this series, you'll have a clear plan for what you can do right now to prepare for your job search after graduation.</p>

<p>This special webinar series is designed for master's students from all academic backgrounds:</p>

<p>September 14: 3 mistakes master's students must avoid in their job searchSeptember 15: The role of recruiters in the hiring processSeptember 16: How to build a network when you don't have oneSeptember 17: Strategic resume writing for master's studentsSeptember 18: Career advice for international students job searching in the USRegister to attend: <a href="https://institutions.beyondgradschool.com/webinar-dont-wait-masters-series/">https://institutions.beyondgradschool.com/webinar-dont-wait-masters-series/</a></p>

<p>The Center for Latino and Latin American Studies (CLLAS) at Northern Illinois University invites you to submit proposals for its seventh annual interdisciplinary conference, Treinta y tres, to be held on November 12-13, 2026. This year’s theme is Rhythms of Resistance: Music, Performance, and Cultural Expression and seeks to showcase the transformative power of performance alongside traditional scholarly presentations.</p>

<p>CLLAS invites faculty, graduate students, advanced undergraduate students, and independent artists to explore the ways music, performance, and cultural expression have served as sites of resistance, resilience, identity formation, and social transformation across Latin/Latinx America. Topics may include, but are not limited to, music and social movements, performance as protest, cultural heritage and identity, and community arts. In keeping with the conference theme, we particularly encourage proposals of live performances, interactive workshops, and other hands-on sessions that engage participants through creative practices and collective experiences.</p>

<p>The deadline to submit proposals (150-300 words) for papers, panels, roundtables, performances, or workshops is September 18, 2026. Proposals should include a title, brief abstract, and contact information for each participant. Please also indicate if you prefer a virtual or in-person session. We will do our best to accommodate preferences, but flexibility on modality will be appreciated.</p>

<p>To submit a proposal, please email: <a href="mailto:latinostudies@niu.edu">latinostudies@niu.edu</a></p>

<p>For any questions, please contact: Dr. Christina D. Abreu (<a href="mailto:cabreu@niu.edu">cabreu@niu.edu</a>)</p>

<p>The author of The American Revolution and the Fate of the World, a book that received starred reviews from Publisher’s Weekly, Library Journal, and Kirkus Reviews.</p>

<p>It reveals the full breadth and depth of America’s founding event. The American Revolution was not only the colonies’ triumphant liberation from the rule of an overbearing England; it was also a cataclysm that pulled in participants from around the globe and threw the entire world order into chaos. Repositioning the Revolution at the center of an international web, this  narrative ranges as far afield as India, Africa, Central America, and Australia. As Bell's lens widens, the “War of Independence” manifests itself as a sprawling struggle that upended the lives of millions of people on every continent and fundamentally transformed the way the world works, disrupting trade, restructuring penal systems, stirring famine, and creating the first global refugee crisis. Bell conveys the impact of these developments at home and abroad by grounding the narrative in the gripping stories of individuals—including women, minorities, and other disenfranchised people. The result is an unforgettable and unexpected work of American history that shifts everything we thought we knew about our creation story.</p>

Teams will build boats using only cardboard and recyclable materials, then race them across the water in a test of creativity, teamwork, and staying afloat. Will your boat sink or sail to victory?</p>

<p>Teams must pre-register via the sign-up form on Huskie Hub by a date TBD.</p>

<p>The History of the Recycled Boat Race</p>

<p>The Recycled Boat Race began as a creative way to combine school spirit, sustainability, and friendly competition. The idea was simple but challenging: build a boat out of recycled or repurposed materials and see if it can float — and race — across the water.</p>

<p>What started as a lighthearted event quickly became a tradition, with teams of students, organizations, and campus groups putting their engineering, design, and teamwork skills to the test. Over the years, participants have crafted everything from cardboard canoes to duct-tape rafts, all showcasing Huskie ingenuity and campus pride.</p>

<p>The race not only celebrates fun and innovation but also highlights the importance of recycling and reusing materials in everyday life. After a break, the Recycled Boat Race is back at NIU! This revival gives a new generation of Huskies the chance to design, build, and race their creations, celebrating sustainability, creativity, and friendly competition. Whether your boat glides across the water or sinks spectacularly, the fun, camaraderie, and memories are guaranteed.</p>

In a time when respectable ladies are expected to sit quietly at home, she desperately needs projects—and prides herself on matchmaking, much to the chagrin of her friend Mr. Knightley. But where Emma’s considerable energies focus, screwball comedy follows… A fresh feminist take on a treasured classic, this Emma breaks down convention, expectation, and even the fourth wall with vibrant comic flair—leading audiences “forward, onward, and upward!”" - Theatrical Rights Worldwide</p>

As a result, recruiters are now receiving hundreds of generic resumes that look and sound the same. With so many identical resumes, recruiters are increasingly ignoring AI-written submissions, and the odds of your resume being selected are slim.</p>

<p>So, how do you stand out in an AI-driven job market? By taking a different approach.</p>

<p>Join Beyond Graduate School for this webinar on how to stand out in an AI-driven job market. You'll learn why a strategic and personalized approach to your job search will get better results than relying on AI tools, and ways you can still use AI thoughtfully in your job search.</p>

<p>This webinar is designed for master's students from all academic backgrounds who are wondering:</p>

<p>What are the risks of using AI in my job search?What makes a candidate stand out in a highly competitive job market?What are effective job search strategies that help master's students land interviews?How can I use AI in my job search without losing my own voice or my ability to stand out?Register to attend: <a href="https://institutions.beyondgradschool.com/webinar-how-to-stand-out-ai/">https://institutions.beyondgradschool.com/webinar-how-to-stand-out-ai/</a></p>
