Northeastern Illinois University

We established HxA’s NEIU Campus Community in 2024. It is the first HxA Campus Community at a Hispanic Serving Institution. Our members take special pride in fostering student engagement in all our programs, which center on what we call the “three Cs":

Convening: We curate intellectual discussions in which students get the opportunity to engage leading scholars representing distinct viewpoints on critical, contested academic and civic questions.

Curriculum: We develop lesson plans and teaching materials aimed at helping students cultivate “viewpoint literacy”—or an understanding of how scholars from differing ideological/intellectual traditions approach and interpret key issues.

Community: We collaborate with other educational and civic organizations, including Chicago-area high schools, who share the values and approaches described above.
