The Grateful Way

A roundup of 71 North updates

The Grateful Way

As Thanksgiving approaches, the 71 North Partnership Studio team would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the students, faculty, staff, and community partners who joined us week after week. Your unique contributions, energy, ideas, and commitment to fostering innovation have been instrumental in making this semester a success. We couldn't have done it without you!

Our Homecoming decoration captured the different activities at 71 North. In the “Only Huskies in the Building” theme, each tiny window is inspired by a program, event, or group at the studio. Students, Faculty, and Staff worked together to make this project.

We are grateful for your partnership in advancing creativity, collaboration, and meaningful solutions that drive positive change. Your efforts are sincerely appreciated and help us build a thriving ecosystem at Northern Illinois University, empowering problem-solving and creating lasting value for others.

As we reflect on all we've accomplished together this semester, we are reminded how fortunate we are to be part of such a dynamic and supportive community. Your dedication, enthusiasm, and contributions have not gone unnoticed. Thank you for making a difference.

We wish you a joyful and restful Thanksgiving filled with gratitude.

From all of us at 71 North

Grateful people are like fertile fields, they give back what they receive tenfold.
