Four students from Northern Illinois University are featured in a commercial with Jay Leno.

There I am yesterday, minding my own business watching television when I see four fresh faced college kids talking to Jay Leno.

I had to do a double take when I saw that they were wearing NIU shirts!

In April, the NIU Supermileage team competed in the Shell Eco-marathon Americas 2015, a global program that challenges high school and college student teams to design, build and test the most energy-efficient vehicles.

The four students who were featured in the commercial were Mechanical engineering graduate student Kallol Barai, senior Lindsey Dodis (mechanical engineering, mechatronics and robotics), senior mechanical engineering major Kevin Kuebrich and junior energy and environmental technology student Christian McAdoo according to NIU.

How cool is that! It must have been an amazing experience to meet and greet with Jay Leno. Bravo NIU!
