Being a Raider runs in the family.🚩

During orientation weekend, we gathered our newest Northwestern students alongside their Raider alumni parents for a special photo celebrating the generations who have called NWC home.🏠

Nothing says “welcome home” quite like a greeting from some of your biggest supporters on campus.🚩

Following Opening Convocation, our Raiders walked through a tunnel of faculty and staff ready with high-fives, cheers and plenty of encouragement for the year ahead.

We’re officially underway, Raiders. Here’s to all God has in store! ❤

One of our favorite traditions. 🕯️On Sunday evening, Raiders gathered for a candlelight worship service—a meaningful time to worship, reflect and prepare for the year ahead.

The evening closed with hundreds of voices singing The Doxology together, a Northwestern tradition and powerful reminder of the One at the center of it all.❤

Happy first day, Raiders! 📚🚩

We can’t wait to see all God has in store for you this year. 🤍
