Mentors Over Retention and Education

The M.O.R.E. program matches first-year students of color and cultural diversity to an upperclassman, faculty or staff member to assist in the transition to college life.

Northwest offers so many organizations that foster diversity that allows people to truly be comfortable. Here, I can genuinely be myself and be a part of groups that push me to new heights and introduce me to amazing people.
