Summer may be a little quieter on campus, but there’s still plenty to be excited about. 👀
Northern alumnus and renowned artist John Lopez delivered a stunning new sculpture today that now stands outside the Business and Health Innovation Center on the northwest side of campus.
Whether you're in town for a visit or just passing by, be sure to stop and check it out. It's another exciting addition to Northern’s campus and a beautiful piece of art to enjoy all year long.
