    Apologies for replying a year later (fail!) - I don't frequent this site & only happened across it again this evening... The site gives me a message that my acct is "too new" when I attempt to reply to private mail :-/ I am Wally's long-standing teaching assistant & graduated w/ Taylor (still maintaining some anonymity, I hope ;-). If I remember correctly, a couple of young men (NU students? unsure...) were asked to come down from the roof (over Fee) & given a stern finger-wagging by some guys who fit the "image" of Secret Service. Coincidentally, I was exiting the building near the area & I was able to see and overhear part of the incident. Hard to believe all that's happened in a year... Peace. j

    NU is interdenominational. There are many who attend that are not of the AG Church, but many of the profs, admins, etc. ARE connected to or attend AG. The Christian teachings are AG in nature but do not step on other truly Christian churches’ doctrinal beliefs. The chapel sessions are mostly AG but there have been plenty of other denominations (and faiths! - Jewish, for instance) reps at the pulpit.

    Just to clarify....

    We’re not linked to WA state (WSU?) - I’m not sure what the statement implies but I don’t think that’s what you meant, just that we are in the state of WA?? But someone not familiar with NU might think otherwise...

    Just thought I’d jump-in and make sure that it’s clear that NU is not affiliated with UW, WSU or any other state college. It’s a high-dollar, private university and I’m proud to have earned my degree there!!

    I shared this thread - but apparently the Secret Service is already closing off the areas around campus ... there’s a possibility NO ONE will be driving down 108th on Friday.

    And it’s a NU Friday too - hope no potential students’ families spent a bunch of $$ to see a campus they can barely (if, at all) access.
