David and Linda Nelson
Arthur S. and Mary E. Nelson Terrace

David and Linda Nelson are both alumni of Northern Illinois University, earning their bachelor’s degrees in 1969 and master’s degrees in 1972 (David) and 1973 (Linda). They have been active supporters of NIU for many years, and have participated in numerous campus events and programs. The Nelsons are passionate about the role of education in shaping lives, providing a framework for future success, and honing social skills and human interaction.

David’s credo has been “create your future” and he is quick to emphasize a philosophy based on an “openness to change” as a key to success. David is a business leader, and attributes his success to an ability to attract good people, to learn, and to maintain an easy sense of humor that encourages people to be natural. Additionally, he credits himself as a facilitator, enabling others in an organization to be successful.

David is chair of the NIU Foundation Board of Directors. He also serves as an associate member of the College of Business Board of Executive Advisors. He was one of the original members of the College of Business’ Career Advisory Council and Planning Committee.
