Dear Colleagues,

Norse U is an early immersion program to the NKU Norse Nation experience. The program will take place July 14-16, 2023. 

During this program, students will engage with faculty and staff to build an inclusive community, learn to navigate campus resources, connect to key support personnel, enhance leadership skills, and expand allyship. The program is designed to engage the students in cultural and identity-affirming workshops to create an inclusive environment, provide a head start to learners’ academic success, and to foster a sense of belonging.  Norse U does not supersede our existing ROCKS, LAMP, or QPLUS programs, but serves as a foundation for students to build meaningful connections within the Norse Nation. 

Norse U provides a two-day residential experience at an affordable cost and includes the following experiences: 

1. Welcome session 
2. Community building activities 
3. College life preparation sessions  
4. Workshops on resource literacy, allyship, and leadership development 
5. Nightly recreational activities 
6. Closing celebration program 

To make this program a success, we need you!  Join us at the Total Student Experience Conference on Friday, May 19th  at 11 am for an information session on how you can get involved or email the Center for Student Inclusiveness at csi@nku.edu.

Thank you and Go Norse!

Dr. Eddie Howard
