RAIDER BE A
You’re a difference-maker. That makes you different. Success matters. But you care more about succeeding in ways that matter. Want to be confident? Prepared? Ready to lead a life that stands out?
You belong at Northwestern. Lead + serve. Be smart + strong. Courageous + faithful. Build community + experience belonging.
OUR PROMISE:
You’ll stand out here.
You’ll learn to be great not for your glory, but for God’s. Not for yourself, but for others. You’ll be equipped for your career. For God’s call on your life. For success.
For significance. Be a Raider.
Because #RaidersStandOut.
GET AN EXCEPTIONAL ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE
in a community where you’ll be known and valued. Your Northwestern professors will include Fulbright Scholars, an Iowa Professor of the Year, and Yale and Princeton PhDs. Their expertise will inspire you as much as your potential inspires them.
Beyond your classes, you’ll get the kind of experiences that impress employers: research collaboration with professors, volunteer opportunities, study abroad and internships. When you graduate, you’ll be prepared for your career. More than that: You’ll also know what it means to lead a life of significance—by standing out in ways that honor God and serve others.
