RHoK NIU - Day 1
🌟 Introducing RHoK NIU Fall 2026 🌟
Are you passionate about creating positive change in your community? Do you have innovative ideas that could make a real difference? Join us for Random Hacks of Kindness (RHoK) NIU Fall 2026, where students, faculty, and community members come together to solve real-world challenges at Northern Illinois University and in the community. In Fall 2026, we are focusing on Huskie Closet.
Huskie Closet provides free clothing to NIU students in need, but like any nonprofit initiative, it faces ongoing challenges such as managing inventory, engaging volunteers, student experience, barriers, and increasing donations. That's where YOU come in!
💡 What is RHoK?
RHoK is a global movement that brings people together to tackle local community challenges through collaborative, creative problem-solving. This fall at NIU, we focus on finding solutions to help Huskie Closet improve its operations and outreach.
Event Structure:
Day 1: Problem scoping and idea generation in a dynamic expo-style session, where teams will pitch their ideas.
Between Days: Teams will visit Huskie Closet, gain firsthand experience, and refine their ideas.
Day 2: Teams will finalize their prototypes and present them to a panel of judges, with opportunities for implementation and recognition!
We need your ideas and creativity! Let's come together to hack for kindness and improve the lives of students at NIU. 🚀
Register and make the difference!
