As a Raider, you'll be part of a community where you'll be heard, valued and supported. You'll study, live and work with others from a wide range of backgrounds, cultures and experiences—all of us different, but united in our desire to participate in God's redeeming work in the world.
Vision for Diversity
Guided by the biblical narrative of creation, fall, redemption and restoration, Northwestern College strives to pursue God's redeeming work in the world by courageously and faithfully engaging the fullness of our similarities and differences in our learning and living together.
- Valuing each person as created in the image of the triune God and thus intended for community
- Respecting the complexity of human identities
- Recognizing human difference as central to an education that fosters critical thinking, empathy and dialogue
PROGRAM
For students with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
