“My dad found Northern through a college swimming recruiting website and asked me if I wanted to go for a visit. I was hesitant because I knew it was going to be cold in the winter. The previous week I went on a visit to a different school that I thought I was going to love, but I didn’t. So when I toured Northern, I wasn’t sure what to think about it. Then I met the people and the professors and I ate lunch with the swim team. I came for the people and how nice everyone is. I felt like I wasn’t just going to be just another number in a classroom. I could tell that the professors really did care about wanting me to succeed. I’m a senior now and I can say with absolute certainty that the professors do care that you succeed. I’m also a senior who had her graduation postponed. I honestly didn’t know when I went home for Spring Break, that was the last time I was going to see my friends and my professors. I left with a ‘Have a good break!’ I didn’t know that was going to be my goodbye. Now, I’m moving back home three months before I planned on it. I’m thankful for my family understanding that I’m still a student. I’m thankful for my professors that personally email me to see how I’m doing with the shift to online classes. I’m thankful for my friends, all of whom I miss so much. But most importantly, I’m thankful for Northern and every opportunity this school have given me to expand my knowledge, my swimming career, and myself in general.” - Jordan Metz, Emporia, Kansas #beNORTHERN #unleashYOURpotential #NorthernStateU #GoWolves #InThisTogether
