Celebrating 40 years: Building Brighter Futures

Over the past 40 years, the College of Business and Technology has made tremendous strides in education and research. The “Building a Brighter Future” milestone captures our commitment to progress and our vision for the years to come. 

As we proudly mark the 40th anniversary of the College of Business and Technology at Northeastern Illinois University, we reflect on our rich history, celebrate our achievements, and look forward to an even brighter future. 

For four decades, our College has been a place of building brighter futures in leadership, and academic excellence, shaping the leaders of tomorrow and contributing to the growth and success of countless industries.

While we honor our past, we are also dedicated to laying the foundation for the next chapter of our journey—a future filled with even greater opportunities for our students, faculty/staff, alumni, and the greater College community.

Reflecting on Our Journey

The College of Business and Technology has cultivated a diverse and inclusive environment where students from all walks of life can thrive. Our graduates have gone on to make significant impacts in their respective fields, embodying the values and skills honed during their time at NEIU CBT, and many others have created, instructed, and supported our environment of learning. We will honor this by showcasing students, staff, alumni, and supporters of the last 40 years over the year and at our reception in the spring. Nominate a person of significance who has built a brighter future.
