Junior Knights and Days is in its sixth year at St. Norbert College. With each year attendance and anticipation for the event have grown.  We are extremely excited to be planning this year’s Junior Knights and Days (JKD) and we look forward to seeing you there!

The idea for Junior Knights and Days began a little over five years ago when the Office of Alumni and Parent Relations wanted to create a special weekend for the students of St. Norbert College. They decided to target the junior class because the freshmen and sophomores were still settling into life at SNC and the seniors were already looking forward to life after SNC. The Office of Alumni and Parent Relations modeled JKD after a longstanding program at Notre Dame University. The goal of JKD is to offer a chance to allow the parents of the junior class to come back onto St. Norbert campus and see what their child has been up to for the past three years. Since juniors are confident in their roles at SNC, it allows them to be comfortable to spend time with their parents and show them what life at SNC is all about.

Although some students may initially be skeptical about spending a weekend with their parents, many have been surprised at how much fun it is. In fact, some have even stated that it is one of the highlights of their time at SNC. The weekend offers a unique set of opportunities and chances for parents and children to interact as well as allowing students and parents alike to meet the families of their friends.  One extremely special quality of Junior Knights and Days is that it is a weekend coordinated by juniors for the junior class and their parents.
