Diversity and Inclusion
We value a vibrant campus.
The North Wisconsin Academy was founded in 1892 with a declaration to provide educational opportunities to people of the north woods—including immigrants, women, and Native Americans. The Academy later became Northland College, and our commitment to that original idea has never wavered. Northland was one of the first institutions of higher learning to offer a major in Native American studies and has hosted an annual powwow every year since 1974.
The Diversity Center reflects Northland’s commitment to diversity and inclusion by providing a physical space that reflects some of our dearly held principles: community, social justice, and respect. Located at 1208 2nd Avenue West (just north of the CSE), the center offers a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space for all. Here you’ll find a great atmosphere for programming, studying, meeting new people, or spending time with friends.
