Hello New Eagles,
We are so excited to welcome you to your new home! We are so thankful the Lord has allowed you to choose ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ for your college journey.
Whether you are a first-time freshman or a transfer student and whether you plan to live at home or on campus, Welcome Weekend is for YOU! These four days are created to help in your transition to Northwest. We know that everyone is coming with different backgrounds, experiences, expectations, and life stages, and we want to help you have a smooth and successful transition into your new community.
The goal of this program is to introduce you to key faculty and staff, provide you with important university resources, and give you ample opportunity and time to mingle with new and returning students. Our hope is that this experience will kickstart your journey of discovering where you belong at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½.
We have been preparing for this weekend for months and are ready to have you here soon! If you have any questions prior to your arrival, please don’t hesitate to reach out by calling 425-889-5234.
We look forward to seeing you in August! Again, welcome home!
Shelbie Frye, Community Life Director
