This event, titled, ‘The Victors’ is free and open to the public. Doors open at 6:00 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Business professional attire requested.

The evening begins with a social hour with NIU student-athletes, coaches and athletics staff entering via the “red carpet” and gathering prior to the show.  Mingle with your favorite Huskie student-athletes before entering the theatre for the program, which gets underway at 7 p.m.
