Brenda is a Rockford, IL native and NIU alumna. She's a former college English instructor who loves helping students achieve their goals. She has a soft spot for DeKalb because it has big-city amenities with a small-town feel, and believes NIU is the perfect place for students to get the full university experience.
"There are so many options here for living, working, activities and learning; every student can create an experience perfectly tailored to his or her personality and needs."
