#HuskiesUnited begins on Wednesday, March 20, at 4:25 p.m. and ends at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, March 21. Over 1,895 minutes, the Huskie Nation will have the opportunity to unite around the mission, vision and values of NIU, creating impact and forging opportunity for current and future students.

Special Swag Alert: Every donor who donates $50 or more will snag an exclusive 1,000-piece NIU puzzle that's as unique as our Huskie Spirit.

They're at $344,000 in 15 hours time. Not bad! They really should keep these open longer than 31.5 hrs. I get the meaning behind 1895 but they only set themselves up for less money.

Looking forward to my NIU puzzle!

Glad I saw this, didn't realize it was going on for only a couple days. I already have a puzzle I bought and haven't put together yet (was supposed to be a snowy day project). It's a nice idea, though.

Donated.

Made sure it was an endowed fund so that wackjob Freeman couldn't splurge my $ on something ridiculous. Dear lord does she suck.

That's why I think the concept of a 31-hr fundraiser is a poor choice. How many people won't participate because they learn about it after it's already over? Make it at least a week long.
