Two hundred and thirty new NSU Demons moved towards a brighter future and got a headstart on their collegiate careers at NSU’s freshman orientation May 21-22. The orientation, one of several to be held on NSU’s main campus as well as Alexandria, Shreveport and Leesville, is a fun filled two day event. From dorm rooms to registration to financial aid, incoming freshmen get everything they need to arrive on campus in the fall and be successful. Future members of the Spirit of Northwestern Band were able to audition as were future theater and art majors.
Northwestern State is like a family and that is reflected in freshman orientation. While the future students completed their program, parents were invited to Parent Connection at which they attend talks on topics such as student safety, financial aid and what to expect during a young person’s first year away from college. Perhaps the most fun is being had by the students’ younger siblings in Kid Connection. The youngsters received a special NSU ID and had a fun filled day of arts and crafts, tours and activities.
The Natchitoches Parish Journal extends its best wishes to these young men and women as they start their life’s journey at NSU. From watching the Demon sports teams to superb theater and musical productions, the NSU student body makes our community a better, and enriched place in which to live. Welcome to Demonland and Natchitoches!
