An Eventful Fall

by Derrick Gulley 

Getting involved on campus is one of the keys to college success. And there’s always something going on at NWU and in Lincoln. 

Encourage your student to attend the Involvement Fair on September 11. That’s where they can sign up for student clubs and organizations.

There are also plenty of social events and helpful programs to get your student connected on campus. Here are some fall semester highlights on campus:
