The “Huskie Pride” sculpture was unveiled in October 2019. Comprised of the letters N-I-U in 6-foot-tall block type painted in the university’s signature cardinal red, the sculpture sits in the center of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Commons on the university’s DeKalb campus.
“This sculpture, with its bold, classic lines, speaks loudly and proudly about what it means to be an NIU Huskie,” President Dr. Lisa Freeman said. “It speaks to the legacy of our alumni and the spirit of our student body ... it creates a new opportunity for all of us to share our Huskie Pride with the world.”
