NATCHITOCHES – Northwestern State University’s Office of University Recruiting will hold its annual Spring NSide View Day on Saturday, March 2 beginning at 8 a.m.
During the event, prospective students and parents can tour campus facilities and get information on financial aid, living on campus, housing, meal plans, campus involvement and amenities, such as the Wellness, Recreation and Activities Center and the Esports Lounge. Faculty will be on hand to answer questions or discuss opportunities in their academic departments and current students will be available to answer questions about student life.
“We are excited to welcome prospective students and their parents to the Northwestern State for NSide View Day,” said Director of Enrollment and Recruiting Van Erikson. “There is no better way to find out what Northwestern State has to offer than visiting our campus and the city of Natchitoches and meeting people whose top priority is to ensure our students have a successful college experience and become college graduates.”
Students can also audition to be a part of the Spirit of Northwestern Marching Band, Choirs and Theatre and Dance. All students and parents will also be given the opportunity to attend the NSU-Lamar basketball game for free.
Emerging Leaders Day is a part of NSide View Day. NSU offers a unique opportunity for first-year students with strong leadership potential. The President’s Leadership Program (PLP) is designed to support rising campus leaders as they build a strong network with fellow leaders on campus. Students selected for the program will take a year-long leadership course and engage in weekly sessions that will include community-building activities, guest speakers, and content devoted to personal leadership growth. If you are interested in becoming a part of the PLP Class of 2024-2025, sessions will happen during the day.
Qualified students can take Accuplacer and placement Exams through NSU Credit Connection that could lead to them receiving college credit. Students can take the Accuplacer exam for $25 for placement in English and Math classes, as well as take Credit Connection placement exams for free for credit in English 1010, 1020, Math 1020, 1060, Science 1010, Fine Arts 1040, and Spanish 1010.
