Dear Parent(s),
Happy spring! With the spring equinox (first day of spring), each day officially brings more sunlight than darkness. This brings my soul a much-appreciated sense of renewal and joy after what has seemed like a really long winter season. But more sunlight is not enough to completely restore our souls, especially in our world's tumultuous state -- it is in Christ alone where we find true refuge.
May you be encouraged by this Psalm: "My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will never be shaken." Psalms 62:1-2.

The world will always be a challenging place to live. We hope our young adult children will have the emotional skills to approach anger with self-reflection instead of self-defense. Helping them to process their anger instead of projecting it equips them to become a part of the solution instead of a part of the problem. It prepares them to turn anger into action! READ MORE

In the third and final installment of “We the People”, three original student-led murals honor three different groups on campus (FORCE soon to be Tapestry, Multicultural Mentors, and LatinX). While the “We the People” exhibition series strived to care for, invest in, and support students of color, we recognize these groups (and others) were pursuing these aims before our first show began and will be continuing the same work after our final show concludes.

As your student prepares to register for fall 2022, keep in mind that online classes are charged separately from on-campus classes. Also, UNW aid (grants, scholarship and discounts) are only given for on-campus credits. If your student takes less than 12 credits on-campus or takes a combination of on-campus and online credits, tuition and financial aid eligibility will change. If a student receives the Federal Pell Grant or MN State Grant, they must maintain a minimum credit level and all of those credits must be able to be applied to the student's degree completion. |
