Natiasha. Maria. Charlayne. Sharon. Martha. Alison. Chris. Kathy. Nancy. Kelly. Herminia. Ana Maria. Javier. Jill. Tammy. Adrienne. Steve. Elizabeth. Maribel. Dominic.

These are the names that go with the faces you see around town. On billboards in the city—and on the Eisenhower. On Bus boards. The Red and Brown Lines. On walls at the intersections of Addison and Clark. Webster and Sheffield.

In print. In the Chicago Sun-Times. Chicago Tribune. Red Eye. Pioneer Press. Sun Publications. CUT. N’Digo. Reflejos. Time Out Chicago. Daily Herald. HOY. And at community colleges.

On cable. WTTW. WLS-TV. NBC. Univision. The radio. Traffic.com. WBEZ.

They are our students, graduates, faculty and staff. The deans. Unscripted. Unrehearsed. Talking about things that are important to them. Having conversations about business. Health care. Golden Apples. The library. Buns.

The importance of being a role model. A member of the community who gives back. An award-winning teacher.

Each one got something different. Really small classes. A degree to make a difference. Classes offered in their community. A degree that made them a better teacher. Faculty who get it. Scholarships and financial aid.

And they got it from National-Louis University.

Welcome to NLU. One of Chicago’s oldest universities.
