Dear Parents,
Can you believe that next week will be the year anniversary of our life being turned upside down by a pandemic? I remember conversing with friends thinking this will be a nice break for a few weeks, but then days turned into weeks, weeks into months and now here we are. For you and your student, this may have been the most challenging year of your life. Some of you have lost jobs, lost loved ones, and in other ways have been greatly impacted
Yet, in the midst of all the challenges, God is at work. Here a just a few examples of God’s faithfulness here at Northwestern:
- COVID Resurgence Level was Downgraded last Friday.
- We experienced a record spring retention rate, with ninety-five percent of Fall students returning for the Spring semester.
- Our nursing program retained its first-place ranking over the past four years among 45-plus schools in Minnesota, according to RegisteredNursing.org.
- The spring play “Emma” performed to socially-distanced full-house multiple nights.
- Men’s and Women’s basketball teams continue onto playoffs starting this week.
-
Our students and faculty have learned to adapt to changes like never before!
Spring is right around the corner encouraging us with longer days, warmer temperatures, and new life! I hope that even amidst the storm of this past year you find that God is working in your life.
God Bless,
Scott Anderson ‘84
Director of Alumni & Parent Relations
