The NU Class of '24 deserves not only our applause but also our admiration (*full disclosure — our daughter is one of you).
“They endured everything we took from them, every pivot we asked of them and every ounce of patience we expected from them. They showed us how to stand firm in a storm, not knowing when or how it will end. This perseverance will serve them well in their lives. It is a lesson they could not learn in a classroom. They discovered it is the light from within them that will guide them through the darkest days.” — Online college news site Grown&Flown
Congrats to the courageous, resilient Class of '24! You will always have a special place in our hearts. Go 'Cats! Go Class of '24!
