Bearcat pride is everywhere.Day One.

Something to cheer about

Northwest students wear the Bearcat paw with pride. Not only are we four-time national champs in men’s basketball and six-time national champs in football, but our culture is one that uplifts students by celebrating major accomplishments throughout their college journey.
