Meet North Parkers
Find out what makes North Park special from our community members.
North Park feels like home! It has everything I’m looking for in a university—small, diverse, and in the city. As a first-generation college student, I knew this would be an environment where I could thrive.
Madison Harter BA ’25, BS ’25
North Park is a place where everything is related. In my biology courses, I emphasize how cultural and ecological perspectives are deeply interconnected.
Professor of Biology Timothy Lin
North Park’s Christian faith drew me here, and connecting my college and faith life has been a wonderful experience. I like that I can connect with my professors and know them on a deeper level.
