NIU CAUSE (Collegiate Association of Unreasonable Social Entrepreneurs)

CAUSE is NIU's first and only Social Entrepreneurship Student Organization. CAUSE stands for Collegiate Association of Unreasonable Social Entrepreneurs.

Why "Unreasonable?" Check out this George Bernard Shaw quote we grabbed it from:

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man."
