What our students say about our program:

 

"I now know to be confident in myself, for I am capable of much more than I can imagine. Being a Norlin Scholar has been a stepping stone in encompassing the person I want to become."

 

"From the Norlin class storytelling experience, heightened consciousness of my words, tone, body language, and other elements of my communication have permeated everything from my social interactions to presenting my research."

 

"To be a Norlin scholar does not necessarily mean following a singular path. It means following whatever course we deem best at the time."

 

 "As a Norlin Scholar, I have developed countless skills to navigate the complexities of my daily life and decisions. Nevertheless, one message sticks out in particular: think about your why. In only my short time as a scholar within this beautiful program, my sensory acceptance of my environment has become a critical evaluation. Now, when I make decisions, I consider a variety of perspectives I previously overlooked. Anyone willing to embrace this program's challenges can do the same."
