North Central Cardinal First

to our 2018 Cardinal First Sophomore Supper! 🍽️
Good food, great connections, and even better community. We can't wait to continue these workshops with this year's sophomore class

🌞 Fun Fact: Tomorrow marks the halfway point of summer break! The last day of final exams was April 30, and classes resume on August 24.

We hope you're enjoying your summer, whether you're taking classes, working, spending time with family and friends, and/or taking time to recharge.

Enjoy the second half of your break; we look forward to seeing you back on campus in August! ❤️🖤

to Cardinal First in 2015, when we kicked off our Cardinal First Friday workshops for the Class of 2019! It's amazing to see how far we've come and how quickly time flies.

Now it's almost time to welcome the Class of 2030 🎊 We can't wait to meet our newest Cardinals, build community, and help you start your college journey with confidence. Get ready - we'll see you at Cardinal First Fridays soon! 😁

We loved meeting some of our new first-gen transfer students at today’s first Transfer Orientation for students starting this August at North Central College!

More than 45% of our incoming transfer students are first-generation college students, and we're excited to welcome them to the Cardinal First community.

From the bustling streets of Madrid to the historic beauty of Granada, Seville, and Cordoba, this Cardinal Destination Course Abroad journey through Spain brought learning to life ✨

Across six incredible citities, 2 first-gen students joined their peers and first-gen staff member Keri Iong to explore cathedrals, synagogues, churches, and mosques that tell the story of Spain's rich cultural and religious.

A journey filled with history, sustainability innovation, culture, and unforgettable experiences 🇪🇸🌏
