“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

As summer break begins, we hope our students are able to slow down, recharge, and experience true rest. Whether you're traveling, working, or spending time at home, we’re praying this season brings peace and renewal. ❤️🖤

Today we celebrate higher education and the impact it has on students, communities, and the world 🤍❤️🖤

At Northwest Nazarene University, we are grateful to be part of a place where learning and faith grow together. We celebrate our students, faculty, staff, and alumni who are pursuing knowledge, shaping character, and living out their calling.

Thank you for being part of the NNU story. We are proud to celebrate what God is doing through this community.

We miss you, Nighthawks 🤍

Campus feels a little quieter this time of year, but we know that does not mean the story stops here. Whether you are home, at work, or resting this summer, you are still part of this community.

We are praying for you as you step into a new rhythm over the next few months. May you find rest, growth, and reminders of God’s presence wherever you are.

We cannot wait to welcome you back to campus soon.

At Northwest Nazarene University, our Biology, Chemistry, and Science programs give students hands-on learning, meaningful mentorship, and the opportunity to explore the world God created through research, labs, and real-world experience.

Whether your path leads to graduate school, healthcare, teaching, or a career in science, NNU is here to help you grow, learn, and thrive.

College is where you discover what you’re capable of.

At NNU, students step into leadership, join organizations, compete in athletics, serve their community and build experiences that go far beyond the classroom. These opportunities are where confidence grows, passions take shape and lifelong skills are built.

From campus events and late-night gatherings to games, performances and shared traditions, there is always something bringing students together. These are the moments that create connection, build friendships and make this place feel like home.

Today we remember and honor those who gave their lives in service to our country.

We are grateful for their sacrifice and the freedom it represents.
