“Northland college is wisconsin's only private, not-for-profit college north of wausau and has served as such since 1892. From the beginning, the college opened its doors to all peoples, serving first and second-generation immigrants who moved to the region to farm or work in the timber industry, partnering with the region's ojibwe community members, and promoting equality between men and women through co-education when most schools in today's elite rankings excluded women at the time of their formation. The college's united church of christ founders also used the best interpretation of the spiritual to be inclusive of all community members. In the early 1970s, the college re-envisioned its mission at the forefront of the environmental movement. The mission remains unchanged: to integrate liberal arts studies with an environmental emphasis, enabling those it serves to address the challenges of the future. The college's vision is to be the nation's preeminent liberal arts college focused on the environment, preparing students to lead humanity to a more sustainable, just, and prosperous future where human and biological communities can thrive together indefinitely.”
