Community Shines as North Park Begins its 124th Year
Opening week highlights include Threshold, Athletics, and Convocation
CHICAGO (September 4, 2015) — This week marked the start of the 124th year at North Park University. Students and families from across the country and around the world caught a glimpse of the journey ahead of them over the next several years.
On Monday, August 31, the University also welcomed back returning students and began new classes for graduate students, both on campus and online across the country. Throughout the week, incoming first-year students participated in a series of events known as Threshold Welcome Week, meant to symbolize their passing through a gateway from one stage in life to another.
Below are some of our favorite memories from the week. Scroll through the photos to see what North Park students have been up to, and some of the things ahead for the coming year.
