David and Karen Nargis

After completing his Associate Degree from Thorton Community College in 1976, David Nargis enrolled at NIU, where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in biology in 1978. He went on to earn a Master of Science degree in industry & technology in 1979, while serving as a Graduate Assistant in the Safety Department. David began full time employment with AT&T in 1979 and at the time of this agreement, is the Director of Environment, Health and Safety. This Fund was created because David and Karen have been long time supporters of NIU and decided it was time to help other students make the transition from junior college to NIU a little easier.
