My name is Brianna Hauke, and I’m a senior at Northland majoring in climate science. My time here has been amazing. I’ve met so many people, done so much, and taken so many classes with the best professors ever. I came to Northland because of the opportunities to work with and form connections with professors.…
I found Northland through a book in my guidance counselor’s office that listed majors and the in-state schools that offered them. For meteorology, this list was limited to three options: the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and Northland. As I hadn’t heard about Northland until that day, I went home and researched it.…

Hi! My name is Kelby Youngberg, and I’m a junior at Northland studying outdoor education. I love Northland’s community. During my adventures and learning here, I’ve felt connected and known for who I am. And during the points when I have felt sad and scared, the community has been there for me. I always will…
Northland College, in short, is why my professional life was so rewarding. The best decision I made in the spring of 1969 was to attend Northland College. That decision afforded me the chance to become a successful educator, both in the classroom and as an administrator. Without the professors and fellow students, I firmly believe…
