Continuing a long tradition, this year’s first-years touch the Victory Bell for good luck during Convocation, which kicks off the 2018-19 school year.

Meet the Class of 2022

St. Norbert College is welcoming its largest, most diverse class this fall. The college received a record-number of applications for this year’s class, and 624 new first-year students have become part of the SNC community, as well as 24 transfer students.

As the biggest, most diverse class, the Class of 2022 has already set itself apart. And the first-years themselves have as well, with not-insignificant accomplishments under their belts even before they began their college careers.
