Part of Something Great.
Student Life, that's the living and learning that takes place outside of the classroom and it's a big part of your college experience. It includes where you live, how you make connections, and that hard-to-define essence, or culture that separates Northland from other colleges. Northland College has its own ambience. We chalk it up to the presence of Lake Superior and northern forests, the friendly attitude of your professors and peers, and the companionship you feel when people call you by name. The Northland "style" takes on the spirit and character of each one of us, which strengthens our community. It takes a whole community to graduate a student. You might be thinking, "What kind of student chooses Northland?" Well, all kinds. We have athletes and academics and activists (sometimes in the same person). Explore all the dimensions of what it means to be a Northland student by browsing through our guides and services.

Ecology, History and Management of Wolves in Wisconsin, including the new Wolf Hunting Season
Oct 17, 2012
Location Information
7 pm @ SOEI Sentry Room
Adrian Wydevan, DNR Carnivore Specialist
Topic: “Ecology, History and Management of Wolves in Wisconsin, including the new Wolf Hunting Season”
Thursday, Oct. 17 7:00 pm SOEI
Adrian P. Wydeven was born in the Netherlands in 1952, and his family
immigrated to the U.S. and Fox Valley region of northeast Wisconsin in
1959. Adrian grew up reading stories of the last wolves disappearing
from the state, and the possibility that there might be one or 2 loners
left roaming along the Wisconsin/Michigan border. Adrian obtained BS
degrees in Biology and Wildlife Management at University of
Wisconsin-Stevens Point in 1976, and a MS degree in Wildlife Ecology
from Iowa State University at Ames in 1979. His master’s research
focused on food habitats, habitat use, and competitive interactions of
elk with other mammalian herbivores. From 1980 through 1982, he worked
as an assistant wildlife area manager in northeast Missouri. Adrian
returned to Wisconsin in 1982 to work for the Wisconsin Department of
Natural Resources as a wildlife manager. Over the next 8 years he worked
at stations in Oshkosh, Appleton, and Shawano. In 1990 Adrian began
work as a non-gam! e biologist in Park Falls, heading up the state wolf
recovery program, and other programs on non-game wildlife in northern
Wisconsin. His title was changed to mammalian ecologist in 1993, as his
focus became mainly mammals, especially the carnivores. Since August
2012 his title has changed to Carnivore Specialist in Wildlife
Management in the DNR. Along with heading up the state wolf program,
Adrian has been involved with monitoring and management of American
martens, surveys for lynx, investigations of cougar observations,
surveys of other carnivores, serving on the state wolf, furbearer, elk,
marten advisory committees, as well as other state and federal wildlife
advisory committees. Adrian lives near Cable, Wisconsin, with his wife Sarah Boles, a professor at Northland College.
Film and Discussion: Two Spirits
Oct 17, 2012
Location Information
6 p.m. @ Alvord Theatre
On Wednesday, October 17 at 6 p.m. in the Alvord Theatre, please join the Multicultural Office & the Native American and Indigenous Culture Center as we celebrate GLBT History and Awareness month at Northland College. This award winning documentary sheds light on the terrible tragedy of Fred Martinez, a two-spirit Navajo youth who was killed 3 years after Matthew Shepards death. We will discuss two-spirit beliefs in native culture, as well as the influence of media coverage on events such as this. All are welcome and highly encouraged to attend, listen, share, and learn. Free and open to the public.
- About the film:"Two Spirits interweaves the tragic story of a mother’s loss of her son with a revealing look at a time when the world wasn’t simply divided into male and female and many Native American cultures held places of honor for people of integrated genders. Fred Martinez was nádleehí, a male-bodied person with a feminine nature, a special gift according to his ancient Navajo culture. But the place where two discriminations meet is a dangerous place to live, and Fred became one of the youngest hate-crime victims in modern history when he was brutally murdered at sixteen. Between tradition and controversy, sex and spirit, and freedom and fear, lives the truth—the bravest choice you can make is to be yourself."

This event is sponsored by the Northland College Multicultural Office
and is a part of GLBT Ally Week, hosted by the Northland College
Alliance.
