Happy Homecoming, Huskies🐾

A wonderful evening was had last night. Many of the McMahons (including grandchildren) welcomed students, alumni, and NIU fans to Dekalb by treating them to coffee, hot chocolate, iced tea, and lemonade.

There was an amazing turnout for the block party and parade, which makes us even more proud to be a part of Huskie Nation❤️🖤🤍
