Why are you "forever green"?
"Northwest Missouri State University changed my life. The University provided challenging growth and learning opportunities that far exceeded my expectations. The quality and dedication of the faculty and staff was and remains world class. I never felt like a number in the classroom and was provided individual attention and guidance when necessary. The professional and personal friendships and relationships in and out of the classroom remain with me to this day. My gratitude and appreciation is unbounded.
Participating in Forever Green provides me an opportunity to payback but more importantly pay it forward! I hope my involvement, in some small way, provides future students an opportunity to be positively impacted by the Northwest experience."
