Engaged Learning

Competitions and Conferences

NIU's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is dedicated to showcasing the advancements and achievements of its students. Regular conferences and competitions such as the Undergraduate Research and Artistry Day, STEM Fest, and the Graduate Student Research Association Conference allow students to present their research in a public setting. Other conferences and competitions include:


"Students are not just memorizing information from textbook and lectures, but they are actually contributing new ideas to the existing body of knowledge. It's an experience I would like all of our students to have."
