Favorite NNU Memory So Far:
The Silent Disco! An event where everyone has headphones listening to different music and everyone’s dancing. I think the coolest part about it is if you ever take your headphones off, it’s completely silent, but everyone’s still dancing and having a great time; it’s just a surreal experience.
Favorite Thing About NNU:
My favorite thing about NNU is the culture and community that the staff and students have worked together to create. I believe that it is truly unique to NNU and has been cultivated by the caring and godly people here.
Something Valuable You Learned at NNU:
While the goal is important, it’s also important to slow down and enjoy the journey.
How has your experience at NNU shaped your faith, guided your calling, and influenced the way you serve or connect with others?
I came to NNU unsure of what I wanted to do, and through countless conversations with peers, mentors and faculty, NNU helped me find my way to nursing and the desire to help people. This helped shape my faith through faith-based learning, as I can see what it means to help someone as a whole person and not just as a patient or through an academic lens.
NNU students frequently express that we do college different. How do you believe NNU does college different?
Through the care and compassion the teachers and staff show to the students. You go to NNU, you truly feel as though everybody wants you to succeed and will do anything to help you achieve your goals. At NNU, you feel seen as a person and not just another student that’s in a massive lecture hall. At NNU, you will have a personal connection with all of your professors, all of whom take a genuine interest in your learning.
