Event Details

Join us as Northwest Missouri State University celebrates our 101st Homecoming on October 24th! You will get to experience Walkout Day--a tradition dating back to 1915 at Northwest, where students walked out of their classes and declared an unscheduled holiday. Now, the day is filled with festivities and Bearcat pride!

You will have the opportunity to learn more about the admissions process/scholarships, tour our beautiful campus, meet with someone from the Financial Assistance Office, and meet with your Academic Advisor. During the tour, you will hear from a current student and meet other families visiting in a group setting. All students will receive a free t-shirt and students/guests will receive free lunch!

The 90-minute group tour is led by a Northwest Student Ambassador who will share their individual experiences about Northwest and some pointers for selecting a university. The average campus tour is a 2-mile walk. If you need help walking this distance, please let us know in your registration and special arrangements can be made.
