Here's a sneak peek into some of our community involvement: in the last few weeks, the CAS sponsored several local cross country meets, and NEIU representatives gave out candy and materials to high school students. These star runners did a fantastic job, and our logo on their bibs helped them run in style! 👟✨

The College of Arts and Sciences’ Dean is sweating to support our students, but he needs your help!

Saturday, August 15th, Dean Tim Libretti will lace up his running shoes and take on the Corrida del Mariachi 5K in Berwyn to raise money for student research projects and creative activities in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Last year, Dean Libretti’s sweat equity inspired more than $2,000 in donations to support CAS students. This year, Dean Libretti is raising the stakes by personally matching every donation, dollar for dollar, up to $5,000 in donations!

So don’t let him get off easy. MAKE HIM PAY! Donate here: https://www.neiu.edu/academics/colleges-departments/arts-and-sciences/cusp-college-undergraduate-scholars-program

With your donation, we can kick off our annual fundraising efforts to support our students. Our goal is to raise $10,000 to fund student research and creative activities. These are transformational experiences that allow our students to showcase their considerable talents and share those talents with the larger community.

Of course, you are also welcome to register for the race here (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/corrida-del-mariachi-5k-run-2026-tickets-1986712230763) and run alongside Dean Libretti to help raise funds.

Let’s make a difference for our students!

Join Dr. Jesse Self this fall in JUST 305: The Carceral State. In this course, you'll consider current events as well as historical ones, and you'll examine the relationship between punishment and various criminalized identities. You'll extend your understanding of mass incarceration and the current state of the criminal legal system. And you'll come away from this course with an invaluable new perspective on everything happening around us--one that you can use in your career, or simply as a means to be a more informed citizen of the world.

Congratulations to Dr. Joshua Salzmann for providing essential historical analyses that were used to argue a case in the U.S. Supreme Court!

Historical studies skills can be used in all kinds of contexts and situations. In Dr. Salzmann's case, his innovative approach to using historical information and crafting sound arguments allowed him to be a critical player in shaping the state's successful defense of public safety regulations in the landmark federal lawsuit, Schoenthal v. Raoul.
