  • Engaging Students for Success
    ANNUAL REPORT Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs ENGAGING STUDENTS FOR SUCCESS FY 2012 INSIDE Message from the Vice Chancellor 3 THE UIC EXPERIENCE 8 UIC’s Strong Tradition of Student Affairs 4 UIC Athletics 10 Preparation and Transitions Impact Donor Honor Roll 12 Academic Success 5 Student Affairs Departments 15 Engagement and Exploration Impact Student Learning 7 Message from the Vice Chancellor Dear Friends and Supporters, I am pleased to share with you another year of highlights and accomplishments from the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs (OVCSA) and its departments, which work closely with students to enhance student success. This year marks the 30th year since UIC consolidated its two Chicago campuses. The past three decades have been a time of profound change for Student Affairs as the direction has moved from providing basic services to strategically designed programs to nurture student success and improve degree completion. While Student Affairs historically served the students’ out­of­class needs through providing a wide array of programs and services, the mission has evolved to actively engage students in the learning process. From the addition of residence halls on the east side of campus to creation of the Student Services Building to continued focus on student learning in partnership with Academic Affairs, a more holistic approach has contributed to campus gains in student retention and graduation rates. The OVCSA nurtures student academic success from orientation through graduation by offering a well­rounded collegiate experience that fosters lifelong success. Alleviating barriers to degree completion is an important part of the OVCSA’s mission.

    NORmERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY "Red Riot" Non-Profit Organization Marketing supporting NIU Men's Basketball A Thesis Submitted to the University Honors Program In Partial Fulfillment or the Requirements or the Baccalaureate Degree With University Honors Department or Marketing By Kristin Kowynia DeKalb, minois May 2007 Univenity Bonon Program Capstone Approval Page Capstone Title: "Red Riot" Non-Profit Organization Marketing supporting NIU Men's Basketball Student Name: Kristin Kowynia Faculty Supervisor: Faculty Approval Signature: Department of Marketing Date of Approval: November I, 2006 HONORS THESIS ABSTRACT Northern Illinois University consistently has difficulty with student attendance at athletic events. In response to this, several student groups have been formed in the University's history in an attempt to increase student awareness, support, and attendance at events. Unfortunately, these attempts have failed in the past. This project provided a solid foundation for the new student fan organization, "Red Riot." The marketing strategies used were based upon research into the success and failure of other fan organizations, athletic traditions, and sport marketing theories while considering the differences NIU faces versus the majority of athletic organizations, specifically the location outside a major metropolitan area and its "suitcase campus" student body. Because ofthese traits, the majority ofNIU students need additional motivation to bring them to an athletic event. While NIU has a few fans who attend as "supporters" and "appreciators," the majority of attendees are "socialites." Thus, to appeal to these students, high levels of interaction, in-game promotions, and an environment that promotes a fun, social atmosphere is necessary.
