Northwest Nazarene University Alumni and Friends

Throwback Thursday 📚

This week we're taking a trip back to 1981! ❤️

These yearbook photos capture a special season in Northwest Nazarene's history—from campus traditions and classroom moments to friendships that have stood the test of time.

Do you recognize anyone? Tag your classmates, share a favorite memory, or let us know where life has taken you since your days at NNU!

The Class of 1981 is one of 11 reunion classes we'll be celebrating during Homecoming & Family Weekend, November 6–7. We hope you'll make plans to come back, reconnect with old friends, and make a few new memories along the way.

Join us at Zoo Boise on August 8th! Hopefully we’ll run into some of our alumni friends. Visit our alumni hub to purchase your tickets - NNU.edu/alumnihub

What an incredible week at Nazarene Youth Conference 2026! ❤️

Over the past few days in Salt Lake City, thousands of students gathered for powerful worship, life-changing messages, meaningful conversations, and a renewed focus on following Jesus. We’re grateful to have been a small part of what God is doing in the lives of the next generation.

Our Director of Alumni Relations, Zach Marble, also had the opportunity to reconnect with NNU alumni, visit with longtime friends of the university, and meet many students whose parents are NNU alumni. Those connections remind us that the NNU family continues to grow across generations.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, share your NNU story, or introduce us to your student. We loved seeing so many members of the Nighthawk family and can’t wait to welcome the next generation to campus.

Nazarene Youth Conference is in full swing! And NNU and her alumni are representing well. Here are a few friends that you might recognize that are leading worship and supporting this amazing event. More to come!

Swing into Summer with NNU! ⚾️
