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

Glidden Homestead Museum (921 W. Lincoln Hwy., DeKalb, IL, 60115).

Food and drinks will be available for purchase from the Burritoville food truck. Weather permitting, the event will be held outdoors, so attendees are welcome to bring chairs or picnic blankets.

Speaker: Jessi Haish LaRue, executive director of the J.F. Glidden Homestead and Historical Center.

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 Nov. 24, 1874, for "The Winner," which became one of the most widely used types of barbed wire in the nation.

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.

About the speaker

Jessi Haish LaRue is the executive director of the J.F. Glidden Homestead and 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, LaRue's connection to local history is both deeply personal and future-focused.

While much of the conversation around AI in education focuses on faculty and the classroom, the impact extends across the institution. In this session, we shift the lens to administrative and operational teams—exploring how Microsoft 365 Copilot supports the day-to-day work of staff in admissions, advising, financial aid, HR, the registrar’s office, marketing, and IT.

You’ll see how Copilot helps staff stay on top of high communication volumes, draft and summarize emails and documents, and reduce the time spent capturing meeting notes and follow-ups. We’ll also demonstrate how teams can accelerate report creation, analyze data in Excel, and streamline recurring workflows—freeing up time for higher-value work that directly supports students and institutional goals. Workshop is led by staff from Microsoft. Register Now!

This webinar will examine how writers can evaluate, verify, and revise GenAI output without losing their own purpose, reasoning, or voice.

Join Ashley E. Bartelt, Program Director of the Writing Center, for live demonstrations of common problems in AI-generated writing and feedback. Participants will practice identifying unreliable claims, assessing whether responses meet assignment expectations, and making responsible decisions about revision, privacy, and disclosure.

This webinar is sponsored by the Huskie Academic Success Center. For questions, contact hasc@niu.edu.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

The Science of Prairie Restoration
Sept. 8, 2026
Lucha Cantina (1641 N. Alpine Rd., Rockford, IL)

Cost: $5 for the general public, $3 for NIU alumni and students.

Speakers:

Liz Wiener, Environmental Educator, Wild Roots Nature Center at Severson Dells

Courtney Gallaher, Director of Campus Sustainability, Northern Illinois University

Illinois earned its nickname, the “Prairie State,” from the sweeping grasslands that once covered most of our state. Before widespread agriculture and urban expansion, prairie ecosystems shaped the culture, ecology and identity of our region. Prairie restoration projects are helping to bring back these native prairie ecosystems. At this STEAM Café, learn about large-scale restoration projects, and how you can create a small-scale prairie restoration in your own backyard.

Environmental Educator Liz Wiener will discuss prairie restoration projects in the Severson Dells area, including the restoration of the former Eliot Golf Course in Rockford. She’ll also explain the benefits of prairie restoration and provide tips for incorporating native prairie plants at home.

NIU Director of Campus Sustainability Courtney Gallaher will discuss NIU’s efforts to restore habitat on its DeKalb campus, including an upcoming prairie restoration on the “North 40” area of campus.

About the speakers

Courtney Gallaher, Ph.D. is the director of Campus Sustainability at Northern Illinois University. She oversees major sustainability initiatives and partnerships at the university. A broadly trained human-environment geographer, Gallaher has experience researching and teaching a range of interdisciplinary global issues, including sustainable food/agricultural systems, water management and environmental justice.

It’s an understandable first step — but not the most effective one.

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.

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

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.

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

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: https://institutions.beyondgradschool.com/webinar-dont-wait-masters-series/

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 Nov. 12 to 13, 2026. This year’s theme is "Rhythms of Resistance: Music, Performance and Cultural Expression," and will showcase the transformative power of performance alongside traditional scholarly presentations.

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.

The deadline to submit proposals (150 to 300 words) for papers, panels, roundtables, performances or workshops is Sept. 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.

To submit a proposal, please email: latinostudies@niu.edu.

For any questions, please contact: Professor Christina D. Abreu (cabreu@niu.edu).

Grounded in Indigenous knowledge systems, the session explores how symbolic mark-making, repetition, and pattern function as forms of cultural memory, resistance, and storytelling.

Participants will engage in a hands-on process of designing and creating their own sellos (stamps), reflecting on identity, diaspora, and self-representation. Through guided discussion and making, the workshop bridges ancestral visual languages with contemporary artistic practice, inviting students to explore how art can serve as a tool for cultural affirmation, decolonial thinking, and community connection.

No prior art experience is required. All materials will be provided.

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.

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.

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?

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

The History of the Recycled Boat Race

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.

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.

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.

Why do we value some things more than others?

The exhibition features displays curated by Jacob Harvey (M.A., anthropology 2027), Janine Salapantan (B.A., anthropology 2026; M.A., anthropology 2028), and Priscilla Kissi (M.A., history 2027) as well as contributions from students in ANTH 462/562 and the museum's gallery and museum assistants.

Global superstar Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, like many other Puerto Ricans, has lived a life marked by public crises—blackouts, hurricanes, political corruption and oppression, among others—that have exposed the ongoing impacts of colonialism in Puerto Rico. Offering a portrait of the past and future of Puerto Rican resistance through one of its loudest and proudest voices, P FKN R draws on interviews with musicians, politicians, and journalists as well as ethnographic research to set Bad Bunny and Puerto Rican resistance in a historical, political, and cultural context. Authors Vanessa Díaz and Petra Rivera-Rideau—creators of the “Bad Bunny Syllabus”—demonstrate Bad Bunny’s place in a long tradition of infusing both joy and protest into music and honor the many evolving forms of daily resistance to oppression and colonialism that are part of Puerto Rican life.

Please register at https://go.niu.edu/PFKNR and a Zoom link will be emailed a day before the virtual talk.

With funding support from the Graduate Colloquium Program.

Vanessa Díaz is Associate Professor of Chicana/o and Latina/o Studies at Loyola Marymount University and the author of Manufacturing Celebrity: Latino Paparazzi and Women Reporters in Hollywood. Petra R. Rivera-Rideau is Associate Professor of American Studies at Wellesley College and the author of Remixing Reggaetón: The Cultural Politics of Race in Puerto Rico and Fitness Fiesta!

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.

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

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.

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

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: https://institutions.beyondgradschool.com/webinar-how-to-stand-out-ai/

Nov. 4, 2026
6:30 pm

Location TBD

Speakers: Laura Fehling, Assistant Director of NIU Edible Campus

Steve Schultz, Garden Manager for NIU Edible Campus

Illinois has an abundance of farms. Yet, most of the food consumed in the state is not locally produced, and many residents struggle with food insecurity. Grocery store shelves are filled with imported produce, while much of the corn and soy grown in the state is destined for export, animal feed or ethanol production. Extreme weather events, record numbers of family farm foreclosures and changes to SNAP food assistance programs are exposing the fragility of our current food system.

Join us at the next STEAM Café to learn how NIU is responding to current food system challenges through the Edible Campus program. Edible Campus Assistant Director Laura Fehling and Garden Manager Steve Schultz will discuss the vulnerabilities of the current food system, advances in sustainable and regenerative farming, and innovative ways to grow food at home and adapt to current changes.

December 2, 2026
6:30 p.m.

Fred Rogers famously said, “Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.”

In this STEAM Café, we delve into the science of play with Kristin Schulz, executive director of the NIU Child Development and Family Center, and Melissa Clucas Walter, NIU assistant professor of human development and family sciences. They’ll explain why playing is so important for children’s brain development, and why adults benefit from preserving a sense of play. Learn about early childhood theories of play, find out why play encourages learning for both children and adults, and get tips for how to incorporate play into your life.

Whether you have children in your daily life or live in an adult-only home, practicing play can help you incorporate joy, learning and growth into everyday life.

About the speakers

Kristin Schulz is the Executive Director of the Northern Illinois University Child Development and Family Center, where she oversees program operations, educator development and quality improvement efforts in a midsized, campus‑based childcare program and laboratory school. She holds a B.S. in Early Childhood Education and an M.S. in Applied Human Development and Family Sciences from Northern Illinois University. Kristin has been working in early childhood education for 24 years, and she uses play with her staff, her family and herself to build and maintain connections and manage stress.

Melissa Clucas Walter, Ph.D. is an assistant professor of human development and family sciences in the NIU College of Health and Human Sciences. She’s an expert in embedded learning opportunities for young children within their natural environments and early childhood science education.
