Our People

Student Spotlight

Three of our students. A few of their interests and accomplishments.

Northwestern has definitely brought out the best in me; it has made me surprise myself ... I thought I would pursue my premed curriculum and perhaps join a student group. I did not realize that I would find a passion for learning language, I would be awarded independent summer research grants, that I would be a part of Greek life, that I would become so involved with shaping student experience here.”

Northwestern provides you with challenging academics, great athletics, top-class music and theatre, cutting-edge research and practical experience. And Chicago’s just a shuttle ride away. The breadth of opportunities Northwestern provides is its most unique feature.”

I’ve met engineers who are in a cappella groups and musicians who are interested in investment banking. It's made me feel like I can be myself. My colleagues and the friends I’ve made on campus are not only incredibly supportive of my goals, but they also share my passion for learning, which creates an electric academic atmosphere on campus.”
