its red brick stout with ivy,

its doors beckoning

to each of the four immense directions”

The Tools to Thrive

Since the Fall of 2013, Communications Studies Professor Dr. Karla Jensen has assisted NWU’s core mission of transformative learning through a novel approach to student support. Dr. Jensen recognizes today’s students’ heightened anxiety and uncertainty and seeks to provide students with a toolkit that will enable them to overcome challenges of any size.

Building, Leading and Serving

Nebraska Wesleyan is proud of our commitment to educating leaders who will make the world a better place, and it all starts in the classroom.

When Players Coach

The NWU men’s soccer team is winning on and off the field as the players work to foster a culture of serving the Lincoln community. Twelve current NWU soccer players, almost 50% of the team, are working or volunteering as high school soccer coaches, referees and facilitators of after-school programs.

Internationalizing NWU

Studying abroad at NWU has opened me to a world of opportunities. I am fortunate to have been awarded a place on the British Council Study USA program to spend a full academic year studying business in the United States.

Celebrating Philanthropy at NWU

As students made last-minute adjustments to their semester-long research projects for the research symposium, crammed for finals and planned life after graduation, Nebraska Wesleyan held its first-annual Philanthropy Week April 19-22 to celebrate all the good our students do on campus, in the Lincoln community and around the world.

A Great Place to Grow

When did you last stop—really stop—to admire a tree? Today, the 150th annual celebration of Arbor Day, would be a great day to start.

Making a Difference Together

Service and philanthropic involvement are core to the Nebraska Wesleyan community. NWU defines itself as a learning community whose members respect the dignity and worth of all members of the university and who seek opportunities to serve the wider human community.
