    What makes NWU special?

    The people. NWU has a kind & caring community of people who create a nurturing sense of place for its students, faculty, and staff.

    What advice would you give your incoming students?

    Do not allow society to put too much pressure on you to know your major and/or career path. College is a time of education & discovery. Find a college community where you feel the best fit, and then be open to a life-changing & transformative experience.

    What are your favorite secret spots around campus or Lincoln?

    Outside of campus, my family's favorite spot is the Haymarket in downtown Lincoln. We enjoy the shops, restaurants, and entertainment in this cultural area of the city. Our dogs, Chance & Indy, report the Ricket's Run dog park as their favorite Lincoln location!
