The holidays draw near.
There’s a chill in the wind.
If you’d like to spread cheer,
here’s where to begin!

Soon our Northwood community will decorate the mall walk with lights, banners, and ornaments. Joyful music will play, horse-drawn wagon rides will run and hot cocoa will be enjoyed.

We hope you’ll join the festivities by making a special contribution to this year’s celebration. Your generous gift, when combined with others, will create a holiday wonderland that will light up the cold, dark nights as students prepare for their final exams.

In addition to helping to decorate campus and inspire holiday spirit for students and staff, your gift will fund scholarships and other areas of need that make a Northwood education accessible to current and future students.

Every night we will have festive music, hot cocoa, and crafts for all to enjoy.

Quotes from Northwood University students

“I was surprised and overjoyed to see campus looking so festive, walking down the mall walk and hearing Bing Crosby and Sinatra over the speakers while seeing all of the lights really made me thankful I chose to go to Northwood.”

“I loved all of the decorations and activities this winter! It made the semester so much more enjoyable, especially toward the end with finals. The carriage rides and hot cocoa nights truly make campus more spirited. I loved hearing the music every day on campus.”
