Northern Illinois University: Impact on Local Area-- Actor Joe Minoso-- Cost of Attending NIU-- NIU Foundation-- Anthropology Museum

From Northern Now Spring 2016, Alumni Magazine.

**  NIU's Impact On Northern Illinois Economy:  A conservative estimate puts its economic impact at $900 million a year.  There are 12,900 jobs directly connected with NIU and total payroll of $423 million.

**  Actor Joe Minoso, Class of '04, plays firefighter Joe Cruz on one of my favorite dramas, NBC's "Chicago Fire."

**  Estimated cost to attend NIU for one year (tuition, fees, room and board).
1970--  $1,700
2015--  $$25,051
Ouch!!

**  $14.9 Million in NIU Foundation scholarships provided to students over past ten years.  Including 8 scholarships from us.

**  James B. and Rosalyn L. Pick Museum of Anthropology in Cole Hall.  I didn't know about this one.  Cole Hall was where the St. Valentine's student murders took place but has been repurposed and renovated.
