December News!

For God so loved the world,that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
John 3:16-17

Merry CHRISTmas to my admitted students and your families!

I hope that during the (often busy) holiday season, your family will continually remember just how incredible it is that the Word became flesh! I hope that you will not only remember the birth of Christ this season but also bear in mind His life, His death, and His resurrection.

For those of you who were recently admitted, click here to learn more about this blog and me, its author. :-)

NEXT STEPS

2. Submit your housing preferences on theROCK, our student portal, approximately 2-3 days after you've paid your enrollment deposit. (See full post below.)

CAMPUS NEWS
The beginning of this month features both our Christmas at Northwestern performances as well as the NWC Bathrobe Drama Christmas Festival! Click here for more info.

Construction on the new Billy Graham Community Life Commons continues to go well! As I walked across campus this morning, I was once again so impressed by how far we have come since we first broke ground. God has been so faithful to us in this whole huge project!

Would you consider joining us for a day to experience chapel and take a campus tour? Hint: the student body's favorite chapel is coming up on Friday, December 10th. Schedule your visit today: call 651-631-5112 or click here to request a visit.

That's all for this month, friends! Be in touch!
In Christ Jesus,

November News!

"But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ,
and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place."
2 Corinthians 2:14

Greetings everyone, and welcome to my blog! I hope this will be your "one-stop shop" as you move through the enrollment process at Northwestern. My name is Jackie, and I really look forward to getting to know you and your family (it's my favorite part of this crazy job I have!).

Please don't ever hesitate to contact me with any questions. I'm your Northwestern gal! Think of your questions as my job security, so ask-ask-ask! :-)

I'm a 2003 graduate from Northwestern's English department; I'm one of those "crazy writer types." :-) I love Jesus very much, and I'm blessed to have a job where I get to meet so many teenagers on fire for Christ.

Looking forward to meeting you!
In Christ,
Jackie Lea

NEXT STEPS
The first step after being admitted is to pay the $200 enrollment deposit (see details in that specific post). Once you've done so, you'll be able to submit your housing preferences. Starting January 1st, families are welcome to apply for financial aid, so be gearing up for that as well!
