Featured Story: #Norsebound Tour 2024

NKU is taking our show on the road again this year! We’re loading up a bus with VIPs like President Cady Short-Thompson, Provost Diana McGill, Victor E. Viking and stopping at four local high schools to meet with hundreds of students to show them all that is great about being a part of Norse Nation.

It’s no secret this has been a tough year for students headed to college this fall with FAFSA delays creating plenty of unknowns. NKU is doing everything we can to ease the stress for students and their families. We are bringing NKU to YOU, the future of Norse nation.
