More Help A Norse Champion Sessions will be offered in Spring 2025!

Designed to help employees and student leaders connect with resources that support student well-being, NKU faculty, staff, or student leaders can take part in workshops and connections sessions designed to help participants make informed recommendations to NKU students in need. This program is similar to other successful training efforts in our campus community, like Ally and Bystander Training (LGBTQA+ Student Initiatives) or Green Zone Brigade training (Veterans Resource Station).
