Family Weekend is a time to re-connect with your student and connect with Northwest Christian University. The Director of Student Programs plans a dynamic weekend designed to help you get to know the campus community your student has experienced. Family Weekend is strategically placed between Orientation and Thanksgiving Break when students traditionally have needed a boost. Registration materials will be sent via mail soon or register online today! If you have any questions, please feel free to call Kirsten Madsen at 541-684-7345.
