Class of 2024
Join us to celebrate the Class of 2024 at Northland College’s 113th Commencement Ceremony. Families and friends are welcome and invited to attend and celebrate together.

The Commencement Ceremony is an important milestone in the lives of our graduating seniors, and it is our hope that family and friends will share in this experience. One of the special qualities of Northland is the genuine friendship that students, faculty, and staff share.
