The NEIU Office of Alumni Relations is collaborating with ASPIRA of Illinois on the creation of an alumni affinity group for individuals who are dual graduates of Northeastern Illinois University and ASPIRA.

The NEIU/ASPIRA Alumni Network will focus on three priorities:

  • Developing a strong alumni network 
  • Conducting professional development opportunities
  • Establishing philanthropic support for fellow NEIU/ASPIRA students  

The efforts will help leverage a shared mission to the community that embraces advocacy, education and leadership. 

If you are an Aspirante and NEIU alumnus/na, please take a moment to complete this survey.

We want to know what programs we can develop that will best fit your needs and establish a strong network.
