CHANCE turns 40!

The CHANCE Program was founded in 1968, with the first entering class joining us in Spring semester 1969. We hold fondly to the memory of NIU President Rhoten Smith and Founder McKinley "Deacon" Davis for their hard work at that time to provide such amazing opportunities for students today.

We are seeking video and written submissions from alumni on what the CHANCE Program means to them. Please forward these to the Program Director.
