Holiday Blessings from Our Campus Community

Published: Monday, November 20, 2023

As the holidays approach, we’re often reminded to pause and reflect on our blessings. This comes easily because we have so many reasons to celebrate this year. For example, this fall, we:

welcomed our third largest class of new students in NWU history,
broke ground on our new baseball and softball stadiums,
completed the renovation of Elder Theatre,
launched a new major in public health.

We continue to invest in your student’s education and provide those impactful experiences that you expect of a Nebraska Wesleyan education.

Have you ever tried putting something together without the instructions? You think you’re saving time until you realize the frame’s upside down and there are four important-looking pieces leftover on the floor.

We’re here to actually save you time. That’s why we created our admitted student webpage. It has all the to-dos, dates and deadlines you need.

We list each step in order and give you all the details you’ll need over the next several months.
