Why NNU?
  • “Originally, I had never imagined myself at NNU. I remember coming to the campus for FCA as a camper, and the last thing on my mind was going to college here. When it finally came down to me choosing a college, I didn't pick NNU at first. But the Lord provided me with an opportunity that I never thought I would get and made it crystal clear that NNU was the place for me. Now, I am so excited to be here and start my journey as a Nighthawk!”
