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.

Founding Gardeners: The Revolutionary Generation, Nature, and the Shaping of the American Nation
Mar 15, 2013
Location Information
7 p.m. @ First Congregational Church
This beautifully illustrated talk looks at the lives of the
founding fathers and how their attitude to plants, gardens, nature and
agriculture shaped the American nation. George Washington, John Adams,
Thomas Jefferson and James Madison regarded themselves foremost as farmers
and plantsmen and for them gardening, agriculture and botany were
elemental passions, as deeply ingrained in their characters as their
belief in liberty for the nation they were creating. In a unique retelling
of the creation of America, award-winning historian Andrea Wulf will show
how plants, politics and personalities intertwined as never before.
This event is free and open to the public!
