Human Resources
Northwestern employs more than 8,800 full-time faculty and staff members who take advantage of excellent retirement and health care benefits as well as educational assistance. It's a great place to work.
Information Technology
Technology is integrated into all aspects of life at Northwestern. Offices like NUIT (Northwestern University Information Technology) provide technical support and computing assistance for students, faculty and staff.
Technical Support
Northwestern's technology offices help troubleshoot issues related to software, websites and technical services. NUIT provides the bulk of this support, but Web Communications and Human Resources also assist with site management and production, some online applications and computer training.
Campus Technologies
The University community can incorporate technology into their work, including faculty instruction and research. NUIT's Department of Teaching & Learning Technologies provides many of these educational technologies.
