“As I look back on my Northern experience over these past four years, I am both dizzied and thrilled at the same time. Dizzied because of the insane amount of things that I was able to accomplish in that time on a personal and professional level and thrilled because of the sheer amount of gratitude I have for all of the opportunities that I have been given. You know, it’s honestly pretty strange to be writing a beNORTHERN feature on myself after two and half years of putting them together for so many other amazing people across campus. Being able to share the stories of the people who make our campus whole has been absolutely fantastic. Everything has come full circle for me at NSU and this is truly one of those moments. No amount of words could put into perspective how thankful I am for the things I have been able to do at NSU and I truly hope that you, too, can make your experience on campus as much of your own as I did. From my involvement in Student Government to Color Guard to NSU Theater to CAB and beyond, there’s never been a moment where I didn’t feel like I had complete control of doing what I love. When I look back on my campus experience in years to come, I know I’ll forever be nostalgic about all of the moments that I collected from my time at NSU. From the amazing friends I have made to the activities I was a part of to the amazing growth I have seen in myself, Northern will forever be a part of my heart. Thank you, Northern. That’s all I can say. Thank you.” - Tyler Harris #beNORTHERN #unleashYOURpotential
