Parents & Families

Your student is stepping into a place where they’ll be supported, challenged, celebrated, and prepared for what comes next.

At Northwest, we focus on helping every student build confidence, discover strengths, and become career-ready, day one. And as a parent or family member, you’re a vital part of that journey. Together, we’ll make the transition to college one that your student — and your family — can feel excited and assured about.

Meet faculty, explore classrooms, walk through residence halls, and ask questions about majors, scholarships, and resources. Whether you come for a daily visit or a showcase event, we’re ready to welcome your whole family.
