As a Bearcat, we strive to embrace diversity, which means recognizing that everyone is unique whether it is race, gender, religion, political beliefs, nationality, rural or city, the uniqueness you bring to Northwest makes up our community. We want to demonstrate respect, understanding, and acceptance of you as individuals and want you to be open to working together to ensure we are all a part of this community. We hope that you can join us in some of our amazing opportunities offered to begin the journey of recognizing are individuality that makes up one Bearcat, our community!
