RISE Program
"Rise up; this matter is in your hands. We will support you, so take courage and do it." Ezra 10:4
Rise to reach your full potential. One of the Bridge Center's primary goals for you as a Northwestern student is to promote your thriving on campus. RISE is a program for first-generation students, commuter students, geographically distant students, domestic students of color, and students from historically underrepresented populations. The RISE Program offers:
-
An orientation retreat where you start building relationships with other students who are embarking on the Northwestern College journey with you.
-
Connection to a local host family to build meaningful relationships within the broader community.
-
Peer mentoring opportunities to connect to campus life and encourage your contribution.
-
A vision for your future that inspires you to rise and use your time in college as preparation for both a fulfilling career and a faithful life.
