This Saturday, November 4th saw Northwestern State University hosting a record 963 prospective students and their families for a day of fun and learning about the many opportunities afforded by NSU. The busy day started with a browse in which the visiting students and their families met with representatives of the various student organizations at NSU and learned of the myriad of opportunities they offer. NSU’s In-Side View continued a 32 year tradition with guest speaker Steven Morgan who offered perspectives on life interspaced with his down home humor. At the conclusion of his speech, NSU President Dr. Chris Maggio and Director of University Recruiting Jana Lucky presented Mr. Morgan with the “Nth Degree”, the highest honor the university can bestow on a non alumnus. Students who applied for admissions and scholarships by that day could have their scholarship package in place by December. The day ended with NSU treating the future Demons to free admission to the football game against Abilene Christian University.

The Natchitoches Parish Journal wishes to congratulate Ms. Lucky and her staff on the fruits of their hard work. We are looking forward to seeing this new generation of students come to NSU and do great things with their lives!
