Every August, North Central College in Naperville welcomes a new class of students and their families. The community has the opportunity to make a lasting first impression and create a great experience for these new residents.
A Community of Welcome
Naperville is known for its beautiful Riverwalk, thriving downtown, outstanding schools, and vibrant restaurants and retail. However, what makes the community truly special is the people who live and work there. Residents and businesses can make a difference by offering a friendly greeting, directions, or recommendations to new students and families.
During Welcome Week, community members can share what makes Naperville feel like home. A simple smile, directions to campus, or a recommendation for a favorite restaurant can turn an overwhelming day into a memorable one. This is an opportunity for the community to come together and make new students and families feel welcome.
College is a time of independence, and many students have traveled from across Illinois, the country, or even the world to attend North Central College. While they may only call Naperville home for four years, the memories they make will last a lifetime.
This August, community members are encouraged to offer a smile, share a recommendation, or hold a door open for new students and families. These small gestures can become big memories and help create a sense of community and belonging.
