Campus Closure for the Holidays

The Northwood University campus will be closed from December 23rd until January 2nd for the holidays.

The Holidays Draw Near. If You’d Like to Spread Cheer, Here’s Where to Begin!

At Northwood University, we hold an annual Winter Wonderland event for students, staff, faculty, and the Midland community.

Our Northwood community decorates the mall walk with lights, banners, and ornaments. Every night we will have festive music, hot cocoa, and crafts for all to enjoy. Joyful music will play, horse-drawn wagon rides will run, crafts for all to enjoy and hot cocoa will be had.

We hope you’ll join the festivities by making a special contribution to next year’s celebration. Your generous gift, when combined with others, will create a holiday wonderland that will light up the cold, dark nights as students prepare for their final exams.

In addition to helping to decorate campus and inspire holiday spirit for students and staff, your gift will fund scholarships and other areas of need that make a Northwood education accessible to current and future students.
