NW Staff – The North Wind

Editorial: We seek diverse voices

NW Staff • September 3, 2020

This newspaper is created by students, for students. The North Wind has the responsibility of broadcasting information, news and opinions to the broad, diverse campus community. Particularly in the past few months, the world has experienced much social injustice. We feel that in our role as a source of news, it is vitally important that we consider the wide range of individuals who study at NMU so that we can both educate each other and learn from various unique perspectives.
